I glared at Theo as I said those words without a second thought, knowing they would easily anger him.
A fire roared in his eyes, and his gaze felt as if it would burn me alive. "Are those your sincere thoughts?"
“Yes!" Any shred of logic I had left had melted away with my anger. "I want to live a worry-free life and a life where I am loved. Matthew can give me that, and anyone else can give me that too. You're the only one who can't do it."
Theo let go of my chin, and he panted several times before leaving without saying another word.
I knew that my words had hurt his pride, but I did not regret it. That was because everything I had said, besides saying I wanted to get together with Matthew, had been true.
Helplessness washed over me as I gazed at his back.
I had told myself that I would not fight with Theo after returning with him and that I would only use him to torture Cindy. Why could I not control myself?
As I listened to the roaring sound of the car engine grow softer, I retrieved my phone from under the mattress and called Tyler.
The call soon connected, and Tyler’s lazy voice rang out and into my ear. "Wandy, you miss me?"
I bit down on my lip and said quietly, "I messed up again."
When I called Tyler this morning, I had told him I was going home with Theo and had also told him about m y plans.
He had not said whether he was for or against my plans, but I could tell from the way he had spoken that he was not too happy about them.
Except for Quinn, no one thought it was a good idea for me to return to Theo.
"Theo left?" Tyler asked quietly.
"Have you installed a tracker on me?" I asked suspiciously.
Tyler chuckled. "You can assume as much."
