Chapter 38 Him
Him
Then
I hear a noise around the corner, and I move to the edge of the building to see what the disturbance is.
There he is—the man you spent the night with—hurrying down the steps away from the building, looking at his watch as he turns in the opposite direction to me.
The glass door is slowly closing behind him, and I have a decision to make.
Do I slip into the lobby, your apartment, and express my displeasure at your infidelity, or do I take care of this clown for coming between us?
I move toward the door, my desire to see you raging white hot. But I’m not ready to consummate our relationship yet. We’ve only just begun.
Instead, I pull the hoodie tighter around my face, turn, and tag along behind your overnight visitor.
We head down into the subway, which is empty at this time on a Sunday morning.
Perfect. I’m not thrilled about what I have to do next, but my devotion to you is steadfast, my darling Raven, so I will fix this situation. For you, for me, for our future.
