But Quinn’s words rang in my head “Don’t you think he’s asking more than a friend should?” I tried to read meaning into it, but it can’t be what my mind wants to think. He was my friend, my best friendl
He’s probably just worried about me, that’s hose all best friends are. I would do the same if I were in his shoes. So I brushed the thought away as
So Veronica actually had the audacity to go to Terry’s house to spew shift. The next time we cross paths, I’m going to make her have a taste of her poison. I walked back to the restaurant, to see Quinn sitting with a thoughtful expression.
Who would have thought that he could actually be this calmn? His expression changed as soon as he saw me, and that annoying smirk settled on
“You are the cause of all this. You just couldn’t keep your mouth closed” I seethe in anger.

“I wondered when you became this talkative. When we were married, you barely spoke to me. Seeing you all chatty. It makes me wonder if you’re high on something, maybe drugs.” I said, and he shrugged like it was nothing.
For you. I’ll be charty. As for being high, you’re right, I’m high.” He said
“Stop it already” I snapped.
“You’re done with your meal, I think you should leave now.” I said, my eyes cold,
“Alright, but can I at least take you home?” He asked.
“No” I said coldly
He raised a brow at

“Enough“” I yelled, cutting him short
“Lappreciate you helping me, and I’m grateful for it. But I think it’s time for you to leave.
He just made my best friend angry at me, and he still had the audacity to keep talking.
-You know what I said was true.” He said calmly, looking at me.
The audacity you have.” I scoffed.
“Do you know how hard it was? How hard it was pulling through all those years! He was there! He was there for me, when I was at my lowest I snapped, saying the words that had been knotted in my heart

He just stood there, staring at me. But I continued nevertheless.

“One more thing, warn your girl never to try this sh*t again. Whatever plans she has up her sleeves, she should keep it to herself and steer clear from Terry and people around me.” I warned in a cold voice.
I saw his eyes flickered, for a moment I saw pain in his eyes which disappeared as soon as it came.
“Alright.” He said with a neutral expression before leaving. My heart stung a bit as I watched him leave, I knew I was harsh with my words but I couldn’t help it.

Chapter 31
The most important thing was to call Terry first. I left the restaurant after leaving everything to Sills. I dialled his number, but he wasn’t picking up.
As I drove home, thoughts of today’s incident roamed in my head. From the billies incident to Terry’s, I sighed.
I went inside and met grandma Mira seated in the living
I walked to her and kissed her on both cheeks.
“How was your day, granny? Hope Moon didn’t bother you inte
“My day was good. He’s currently asleep now, he was good” She said, smiling at me
“How was yours?” She asked.
“It was eventful” I said, carefully, I didn’t want to

I went up to my room, took a quick shower and tried Terry’s line again, but it was switched off. I sighed as I kept on trying his line, not when I sleptoll.

The next morning. I woke up feeling uneasy. My mind was restless, knowing that Terry was angry at me, which had never happened. I tried calling him again, this time it rang, but he was ending the calls,
I knew Terry was pissed by last night’s incident, I had tried to explain to him that I wasn’t trying to be friends with Quinn or anything, he only saved me, and I was repaying him.
But that idiot Quinn had only worsened it with his words. He was the cause of this.
My mind went back to Terry’s words last night when he came with the flowers. “I’ve been busy with the shoot, and I haven’t come to see you since the restaurant opened.”
“I came to surprise you

got surprised insteadTM
His words cang in my head. I couldn’t help but feel guilty. He was my best friend, and he wanted to spend time alone with me, to bond for the lost days, but instead he had found me dining with his long–time school enemy.
Terry has been with me through tough times, he was dear to me. I didn’t want to lose him for such an issue. I called his r blatantly disconnecting my call..

Something was wrong, Terry had never been this angry at me before. I wondered if there was something else or another reason why he was like
