Brandon's POV
The moment the words left my mouth, I knew I had crossed a line. Zoe stared at me as if I had just set fire to something sacred. It wasn't just anger—no, this was deeper. Her eyes burned with something sharp and personal, as if I had them again reached into a place I had no right to touch and ripped it open without warning. I hadn't expected that. Not like this. Not after everything that had just happened between us.
