Chapter 38 Gone

• Bethany leaned into Jason, her hand resting casually on his arm. They stood together by the bar, laughing, as if the world around them didn’t matter. Jason’s smile was easy, his presence a stark contrast to the storm that had once raged inside her when she was with Greg. Now, all she felt was calm.
• She felt Greg before she saw him. She didn’t need to look—she could feel the weight of his gaze from across the room, burning into her back. She let herself enjoy it, letting Jason move a little closer, her body language saying everything that needed to be said. She wanted Greg to see. She wanted him to know what he’d lost.
