In the end, we ended up at the most upscaled mall in the city. Hayden held my hand as we walked along the strip in the mall lined with the most expensive branded boutiques. I glanced up at his face as he stared into the shop windows with interest. Considering what had happened, I was very surprised that Hayden could act like nothing really happened.
Sure, he was super aggressive and agitated the night that we came back. However, there wasn’t any trace of that today. While Hayden checked out the shop displays with interest, I couldn’t help staring at him with interest. Whatever that seemed to trouble Hayden yesterday must have been resolved some way or somehow. Either that or he had made up his mind about something.
I guess I’ve made up my mind to. By striking the deal with Hayden I had decided that I will not be returning to Ethan. I wasn’t sure if I’ve completely come to terms with what that actually meant.
