Her heart almost burst out of her chest upon hearing those words come from his lips. She had longed for this moment to happen, for him to admit that he had feelings for her.
Each night she had dreamt of him saying how much he loved her, only for her dream to end in a nightmare with him suddenly disappearing. Then, waking up to the sad reality that she was alone. He had left her for another woman.
But this time, could she have a different ending?
A fool.
Her mind shouted, holding her back, telling her not to believe a liar.
"I don't know if I can trust you." It was the first thing that came out of her mouth as fear gripped her tightly, reminding her of the pain she had gone through these past months.
Losing Lance was different since he never led her to believe that he cared for her more than as a friend. Her situation with him was easier to accept. She was hurt but not in the same way she felt by Evan's betrayal.
