"My mouth is dry in shock. I couldn't give a damn about the amount she's in the red with, it's nothing to me but mere pennies. But how does Alek know this? Why would he hand it to me like it's something she's purposefully trying to keep from me? Unless maybe she was trying to keep it from me after all. But I can't imagine why. We've been very open with one another.
More open than I've been with anyone in a long time.
"Why didn't you just tell me? How does Alek even have this information?"
She shakes her head at this point, slowly shutting down right before my eyes.
I won't let that happen. I'm not going to turn this into some fucking wedge that Alek is so obviously trying to drive between us. I'll just go home and think about her all night. I don't want to be sad over losing a woman that is as amazing as her. She's smart, too damn smart for my own good, and she's so funny and sweet. She's strong too, strong enough to get past this with me.
