“Hey. Eat these. I don’t have much time.“]

He didn’t even look at me properly. “And cancel your flight. Break’s too short to go home anyway. We’ll just chill here.“[]

When I didn’t answer, he finally glanced up.[]

“What’s wrong with you now?“]]

“Tanner,” I said, my voice hollow. “We’re over. Stop coming here.“]

He let out a dry laugh. “Right. ‘Over.” He shook the box of macarons open.[]

“You’re really gonna make me do this every time, huh?“]

“Just cancel the flight, alright? I’m not playing. Don’t blow up my phone later asking why I’m not on it.“[]

He reached out like he was going to feed me one.]]

“You haven’t seen me in weeks. Seven days without me? You’d lose it.“[]

I stepped back like he’d burned me.]]

He ran a hand over his face, exhausted. “I’m done arguing about this. I’m tired.“[]

But as I walked toward the door, he raised his voice behind me:[]

“You’re really gonna be like this, Addie? After everything?“]

“I’m not begging this time. Keep your ticket, don’t keep it–I won’t be on that flight.“]

“Go ahead. Give me the silent treatment. See what happens when I spend a whole week with someone who actually wants me around.”

I didn’t turn back.

I was already gone.[]
