Angel's POV
Her eyes widened, disbelief flashing across her face. “What do I mean? Are you serious? You kissed me, Angel. You kissed me like—” She stopped herself, biting her lip, as if saying it out loud would make it more real. “Why?”
I exhaled slowly, trying to find the words. “I told you. I needed to get something out of my system.”
Her jaw clenched, the hurt in her eyes deepening. “Get what out of your system, Angel? What does that even mean?”
I hated this part. The part where I had to break her, even though I didn’t want to. “I needed to see if... if those feelings would go away.”
Her shoulders dropped like I’d just knocked the wind out of her. “So you kissed me as a test? To see if you could forget me?” Her voice was soft, but the pain behind it was sharp.
I didn’t answer rig
