Chapter 40

• Zayne
• “Fine, I’ll try to get over…Maija?” I stare at the person dancing on a guy. She’s smiling while swaying her body to the music. I blink twice, then rub my eyes. Maybe I’m imagining seeing her. She can’t be here right now; she can’t be thirty feet away from me having the time of her life. However, when I look again, sure enough, it is her. My heart pounds in my chest as I watch her awestruck, she looks ethereal, and for a moment, it is only her ad I in the room until someone interrupts her dancing. Danuel whispers something to her, which makes her laugh and pulls me from my dream state.
• “Fuck!” I clench my jaw as the hurt settles in my chest. I grab a shot and down it before jumping to my feet.
