Revenge(33)

“Jess, if you go back into that building, we’re through.”

I swallow down the lump in my throat. “We?”

“Me and you. Don’t deny you feel it, too. I want to show you something, but if you walk away, I’ll never trust you.”

“You trust me now?”

He lowers his head and gives me a forceful look through his dark eyebrows. “Get in my car. Now.”

What was that thing Nick told me? When you think you have no choice, it’s probably because your destiny is right in front of you.

My legs tremble as I walk forward.

I slide into the leather seat, barely breathing.

Dylan walks around and gets in the driver’s side.

The engine starts with a loud rumble.

Dylan cranks the wheel and floors the gas.

The tires squeal as he whips the car out onto the road and crosses three lanes of traffic. Vehicles all around us are honking and squealing their tires to avoid hitting us.

Dylan doesn’t even flinch or glance over at me.

He drives the sports car right over a low median and whips around in a U-turn.

Tires squealing, we take off in the opposite direction.

The Morris Music building disappears behind us.

I have a terrible feeling I made the wrong choice.
