Glyndon stood there, wringing her hands, shifting her weight like she was working up the courage to speak.
I waited.
Watched.
Enjoyed the sight of her struggling to put her emotions into words.
Then, finally, she took a shaky breath and said, "I broke up with Alex."
I blinked, tilting my head. "I know. He already told me."
She hesitated, caught off guard. "He… did?"
I smirked. "Yeah. He and my brother were practically giggling about it, trying to convince me I should be thrilled or something."
Her face burned red. "Oh."
I crossed my arms, watching her carefully. "Why'd you do it?"
She swallowed hard, her throat bobbing.
Then, slowly, she stepped closer, her voice quieter this time.
"Because I want you."
I clenched my jaw.
Something in my chest twisted.
