"Hello. Aria, a-are you there?"
My eyes squeezed shut as I turned away from him. I couldn't have feelings for Damien, it went against everything we agreed on.
The image of him wiping his tear angrily flashed through my mind. Maybe I was confused. Maybe all I felt for him wasn't feelings, but companionship.
He understood me and he made me feel seen—even more than Drake tried to. Was that why something tugged at my heart when I saw him cry?
I was always a sucker for seeing people cry in front of me. Maybe that was why. Surely, there was no way I had feelings for Damien Brown.
I stole a glance at him. He looked nothing like Drake and exactly like Drake all at the same time. Was it because they had the same eyes?
Was I transferring my feelings for Drake to Damien? I mean, it wasn't not possible…was it?
"Aria!"
Bella's voice snapped me right back and I gripped the phone tighter in my hand. I stole a glance at Damien but looked away quickly when his eyes met mine.
