Evaline:
The moment I stepped into the familiarbuilding of HQ, I knew I was in no mood for pleasantries.
Ihad been sulking ever since breakfast, though I tried hard not to admit it even to myself. Fine... maybe my mood had something to do with the fact that when I stepped out of the mansion this morning, ready and dressed for work, I saw River's sleek black car gliding out of the driveway without me.
He didn't even pause. Didn't he remember it was the weekend? Didn't he see me all dressed up for work? Or… worse… did he leave without me on purpose?
The questions clawed at me the entire ride while Oscar drove me to HQ. A tiny reasonable part of my brain whispered that River never promised I could ride with him, and maybe last weekend had just been an exception. But the larger, pettier, unreasonable part of me... oh, she was in full control today.
