So she didn’t give him the chance to continue his performance of regret.
“Did you forget telling me I was just ‘buddy’? That life with me would be boring? Did you forget saying you’d never love me? Did you forget telling me you never wanted to see me again? You remember everything except the parts that hurt me?”
Ethan’s face gradually crumbled under her powerful words.
The thoughtless jokes and angry comments he’d made were now boomeranging back hitting him right in the heart.

“No Avery it wasn’t like that! I didn’t know I loved you then which is why I said-”
“What about when you bragged to your buddies at the bar about ‘childhood sex buddy’? Did you think about the consequences then?”
With that one sentence Ethan finally understood.
He realized why she’d confronted Sophia at the bar that night. Why after that evening they could never go back to how things were.
She’d overheard their conversation outside the room!
Realizing this made his head buzz and his blood run cold.
His mind raced trying to find some explanation.
Instinctively he reached through the window trying to grab her hand to keep her there just a little longer.
But seeing her time was up Avery didn’t hesitate. She closed the window.
His hand was caught turning purple-blue but he still wouldn’t pull it back.
Blood trickled down the window filling the air with a metallic smell.
Avery frowned glancing at him before lowering the window just enough to push his limp hand out.
After closing the window again she started the car leaving him with one final statement her voice razor-sharp.
“Save your fake selfish love for Sophia. I don’t want it.”
