For years she was the one always overlooked, watching the people she loved choose someone else again and again. When she finally stops waiting to be chosen, the balance of every relationship in her life begins to shift.
Look over at Sebastian and catch his eye The next second he turns his head and taps the steering wheel before speaking impatiently to Liam. You getting in or not?
In the past, Liam would have picked a fight with him instantly. But this time, he just steps beside me, staying put. You guys go ahead. I won't buzzkill.
I'm going home with Evelyn. The smile completely fades from Cecilia's face, as her eyes lock onto Liam standing next to me. As we turn to leave, she suddenly calls out.
Wait! Sebastian has something to tell you! I stop and turn back towards Cecilia. She affectionately pokes Sebastian's shoulder with a bright smile.
Now that Evelyn's out of the hospital, you can tell her. I assume he's finally going to bring up calling off the engagement. Sebastian keeps his eyes lid, silent for a long moment before finally speaking up. How's your rehab going?
The smile on Cecilia's face instantly freezes. Her eyes go wide with surprise and anger. Fine. What is wrong with you? Why aren't you telling her that you're breaking off the engagement?
Sebastian ignores her, hits the gas, and roars off into the night. It hits me then. The nurse mentioned a guy who visited me twice while I was asleep. That was probably Sebastian. But none of it matters anymore. I turn and walk back into the villa with Liam.
