Just as she thought she might suffocate to death, he suddenly released her.
He buried his head deep into her shoulder, silent, as if he weren't the one who had just lost his mind.
Her heart pounded in her chest. She had already resolved to forget him, to cut all ties with him for good. Yet, in this single moment, he had thrown her heart into turmoil once more.
She was afraid. So afraid. If Tristan kept tormenting her like this, she would completely break down. She had never been a strong person, nor was she someone who could move on or let things go at will.
'He was her dream! The man she could only ever admire from afar!'
With her last shred of reason and the last ounce of her strength, she pushed Tristan off her.
Her eyes rimmed with red, she didn't wait for Tristan to react. She hastily straightened her clothes and sat up on the bed. "I'll forget about what happened today..." With that, she made to leave the room, to get away from Tristan Grayson.
