as well as Bri knew that it was not anger that fueled his cruel words. It was pain, pain because she had rejected him and walked away. Same as he was doing now. Tears spilled from the corners of her eyes and she was too struck by his words to hide them.
He snarled a curse and went to walk away as Winter and Belle rushed to Briar’s side having never seen her cry before as well as Fangs. He stopped a few feet away and turned back.
“You wanted this Bri. You left me remember?” He said, his voice laced with anger and arrogance. “Move on... I have.”
Chapter Five
Bri tried to seem interested in Marcus's extraordinary detail as he explained stocks and bonds and did a fine damn job because when she was finally free of the lesson, Fangs was gone and so was Wendee with two e's.
She refused to think about Fangs and his date and where and what they were doing right now. She put all her energy into Winters once a century 21st ball and did her best not to bawl. As people from their group of friends started splitting off for different reasons it became just the girls at the table and by eleven they were all making Fangs their gossip topic.

"Then I guess it’s a good thing I can hold a grudge." She said leaning back in her chair.
“Holding grudges is actually your worst quality Bri. It’s why you’re in this mess in the first place.” Belle stated so elegant and aggravating.
