~CLARISSA~ "Look, there's Damon!" Griffin says as he waves at him. I freeze. I knew Damon had been watching this entire time, but now he knew I was aware of him looking at me. If I wanted this to work, I had to ignore him. Usually, I would go straight to him, but this time I let Ares lead me into the beach house. I know it would hurt him that I didn't even bother to turn around and look at him but this had to be done. Letting Ares hug me earlier was not part of the initial plan, but I wanted to make it as believable as possible. He knew I was upset this morning. I wanted to show him that this wasn't just one of my 'tantrums.' I wanted him to know that he wasn't the only one that could go on dates. All along I've made it super easy for Damon, I wouldn't make the same mistake again.
