Jordan took it and then glanced at Sophia. “What are you guys doing here? When did you get back into town?”
Noah pushed his hand through his hair. Why was he so nervous about seeing an old friend? Sure, she hadn’t been happy to see him, but that’s because he’d hurt her by promising to spend his life with her only to ditch her moments later.
It seemed strange that he would react this way, instead of with his normal confidence. Her heart softened a tad as she watched Noah give Jordan a weak smile. And for a second, she felt bad for having treated him the way she had yesterday.
Sure, she’d been hurt, but she was a fool to not realize he was in pain as well. The memory of his scars raced through her mind, causing a twinge of guilt to pull at her stomach. Her resolve to hate Noah forever was slowly weakening, and she couldn’t have that. So she cleared her throat as she re-focused her mind.
He was the one who’d left her. She couldn’t forget that.
“Yesterday. I, um…” Noah glanced over at Sophia with pleading in his gaze.
Right. They needed a backstory. Oh, she was going to give them the best backstory she could think of. And the fact that they were in front of someone made it even better—he couldn’t disagree with her. So she gave him her sweetest smile. “Oh, this is the best story.”
