He Gave Her My Eyes A Story of Final Sight novel Chapter 129

The equestrian club sat miles away from the city, and by the time they pulled up, the afternoon sun was at its fiercest.

After parking, Theresia and Helena followed a staff member to the advanced riding track, the kind of place reserved for people who actually knew what they were doing.

Helena glanced around, searching for Dave but came up empty. “Theresia, let me call Dave and see where he is.”

“Yeah, go ahead,” Theresia said.

Helena wandered off to a quieter spot with her phone, leaving Theresia to wait. As she stood there, her eyes drifted across the club and landed on someone she recognized.

Jared.

Theresia felt her heart sink. She turned away on instinct, hoping to avoid him, but it was too late. He’d already seen her.

“Theresia!” Jared’s voice carried over the noise.

He strode over, all smiles. “What are the odds? Did you come all the way out here just for this club?”

Jared had always loved horseback riding. He was the one who taught Theresia the basics. Back when they were together, he used to bring her here all the time.

She couldn’t believe her luck—of all places, she had to run into him today.

Jared’s energy was warm, almost eager. Theresia’s couldn’t have been more different. She didn’t bother to hide her impatience or the cold edge in her eyes.

Jared noticed but didn’t seem fazed. “Come on, Theresia. We might not be together anymore, but we could still be friends, right?”

Theresia shot him a look. “You’re kidding, right? Being friends with an ex isn’t really my thing.”

She turned her back to him, hoping he’d get the hint.

People in their world understood how things worked. If Theresia was meeting Dave here, it probably meant she needed a favor or wanted to talk business. Jared had been hoping for a chance to get close to her, and now he saw his opening.

Theresia gave him a skeptical look. “You and Dave are friends?”

Jared tried to look sincere. “Yeah, we’re friends.”

That’s when Helena got a proper look at him and realized who he was.

She immediately stepped in front of Theresia, arms crossed, ready for battle. “No wonder the air feels so gross. I should’ve known it was you, jerk.”

Helena had never liked Jared when he and Theresia were dating. Now, she looked at him like he was something she needed to sweep off the floor.

Jared’s friendly act disappeared. “Helena, this is between me and Theresia. You don’t need to get involved. What if we end up back together? You’d just embarrass yourself.”
