If only they knew the truth.
How not one, but three hearts had broken that night.
I knew I had to decide soon though. Alistair and the label were pressuring me for an answer tomorrow. There was nothing more I wanted than to go back and try to fix some of the mess I’d made. But how could I go back now everything was out in the open? Now that Levi knew we’d betrayed him?
It was ironic, but I realized now the issue was never Rafe and me, and me and Levi. It was Rafe and me, and Rafe and Levi. He was the one in the middle, forced to make an impossible choice.
A loud knock at the door startled me, and Mom chuckled. “I’ll get it,” she said, taking off toward the hall. “Eva, sweetheart, it’s for you.”
I got up and traipsed to the door, half-expecting to see Molly standing there.
“Hey, Starshine.”
I sucked in a harsh breath, the ground ripped from beneath my feet. “Rafe? But what are you—”
“I choose you, Eva,” he said with nothing but love and conviction in his eyes. “I choose you.”
