As | got dressed for the day, | decided that | needed sspace from Alexander to think everything through.

slipped out of my apartment and walked confidently out of the building. Since my car was still parked at Ava’s, |
walked to a busy diner to have breakfast. The server satdown in a small booth, and as | opened the menu, a
feeling of peace washed over me. It was nice to just be by myself for a morning.
| ordered a coffee and a big breakfast of pancakes, eggs, buttered toast, and sausage. As | waited for my

“Yes, I'll have-"
“He was just leaving,” | interrupted him, wanting to take control of the situation.
The server looked between us, then turned to me. “Are you okay?” she asked.
Her worry forwarmed my heart, but | wanted to take care of this myself to prove could.
“Yes, thank you,” | said gratefully.
“I'll be just over there,” she said, her eyes only on me. “My name's Marissa if you need anything.”
She widened her eyes, implying that she would kick Ethan out if | asked her to.
“Thank you so much,” | said.
When Marissa left, Ethan rolled his eyes. “Girls have to stick together, | guess.”
