Sutton
I rushed down the hallway and straight into an open elevator. I could sense David behind me. He could easily catch me. Stick his hand in the elevator to keep it from going downstairs. Anything.
Instead, he stood in front of the elevator door and let his hand drop. Our eyes stayed locked.
For a second, I almost thought about stopping the inevitable. I could stay and hear him out. I could let him explain away why he’d lied to me the entire time we were dating. I wasn’t ready to talk. Morgan had known that. David had known that. So, I did nothing. And he disappeared from view as the doors slowly eased closed.
I slammed my hand on the elevator wall and screamed into the closed metal tube. How the f**k did my world keep shattering like this? Why couldn’t any of it be goddamn easy?
