Excerpts:
“Can you join me for coffee? If you can’t, I understand,” Mark said, his tone disappointed. “It’s just I haven’t seen you in a while and was hoping to catch up with all you’ve done since I’ve been gone.”
Of course, it was his fault he didn’t know what direction her life had gone in. Aside from a few letters the first year, he hadn’t stayed in contact with her. The hurt of him leaving resurfaced and anger skimmed over her nerves. She’d loved him, and he’d taken off with no thought to her feelings. Maybe she hadn’t gotten over that yet. Silly, but she wanted him to feel how she’d felt.
Throwing her shoulders back, she tilted her chin up. “I’m sorry, Mark. I’m far too busy at the moment. But please, enjoy another cup of coffee and pastry. Have a nice day.”
She walked out, head held high and bit her lip to keep from glancing back over her shoulder. She didn’t need to. Macy’s eyes narrowed as she slid behind the front desk.
“What did you say to him? He looks like you kicked his puppy.”
Lord, she was feeling petty. “Well, he kicked mine first.”
