08:12My knees slammed hard against the edge of a desk.
08:15Pain shot through my leg.
08:16The assistant didn't apologize.
08:18He barely glanced at me before rushing toward our manager.
08:21Excuse me, which one of you is Vanessa Blake?
08:23Mr. Vitale needs to see her.
08:25Vanessa heard that Callum wanted her.
08:27She practically ran over.
08:29I'm Vanessa. I'm Vanessa Blake. What's going on?
08:32The assistant looked her over. His tone became more polite.
08:35There's an opening for a secretary in the executive office.
08:38Mr. Vitale wants you to fill in for a while.
08:40Vanessa froze, then suddenly raised her voice.
08:43The entire office heard her.
08:45Me? Mr. Vitale wants me working directly with him?
08:49He personally asked you to come get me?
08:52The assistant frowned almost imperceptibly, then smiled and nodded.
08:55Yes. Grab your things and come with me.
08:58She couldn't hide her excitement.
09:00I don't really have anything to pack. I can go now.
09:03Great. Follow me.
09:05Then she deliberately walked past me.
09:07With the disgustingly innocent expression, she said,
09:10Sadie, move. Mr. Vitale wants me upstairs.
09:14You're in my way. Keep working.
09:16Maybe you'll get up there in ten years.
09:18I said nothing.
09:19Ignoring the throbbing pain in my knee, I quietly stepped aside.
09:22Vanessa strutted off in her heels, happily following the assistant.
09:26Everyone watched her go.
09:27The second she was gone, the office exploded.
09:30Okay. Is Vanessa going to end up Mrs. Vitale?
09:32He's obviously into her. He even moved her into his office.
09:35Hey, Sadie, didn't you come in with Vanessa?
09:38What's the deal with her and the boss?
09:39Hearing my name, I forced my emotions down.
09:42My voice was barely audible.
09:44No.
09:45Vanessa went upstairs.
09:46That left me as the only new intern in the department.
09:48My co-workers gossiped about her for a while.
09:51Eventually, they got bored, so their attention shifted back to me.
09:54Sadie, weren't you getting coffee for everyone?
09:57Sadie, I need to pick my son up tonight.
09:58Can you finish this for me?
10:00Sadie, I heard you went to a top school.
10:01You must be good at this stuff.
10:03Here.
10:03Before long, folders were piled high in front of me.
10:06By the time I finally finished everyone's random work, it was past eight.
10:10I stretched, then finally checked my phone.
10:13A message from Dad immediately popped up.
10:15Remember, don't compete with people who have money.
10:18We can't afford it.
10:19Be helpful.
10:20Get there early.
10:21Bring your boss coffee.
10:23Management will notice.
10:24Then maybe they'll hire you full time.
10:26I stared at the screen.
10:27My fingers hovered over the keyboard.
10:29I had no idea what to say.
10:30Finally, I sighed and opened social media.
10:33Vanessa had posted a selfie three hours ago.
10:36She stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, flashing a peace sign at the camera with a bright,
10:41mischievous smile.
10:42Her caption read,
10:43Another productive day.
10:45Thanks to my amazing boss for the opportunity.
10:47My finger paused.
10:48I couldn't stop myself from zooming in.
10:51In the reflection of the window, there was a silhouette.
10:54A man stood at the other end of the office, unaware of the camera.
10:57Even as a blurry reflection, I recognized him immediately.
11:01Callan.
11:02I stared at the picture for so long that I didn't notice someone approaching.
11:06Why are you still here this late?
11:07I jumped.
11:08A short, stocky man with round black glasses stood in front of me.
11:12He stared at me curiously.
11:13He looked familiar.
11:14After thinking for a second, I remembered our manager introducing him.
11:18He was another one of Callan's assistants, Mike.
11:21I quickly explained awkwardly,
11:23I got stuck finishing some work.
11:25I was just leaving.
11:26Oh.
11:26Okay.
11:27The assistant suddenly grabbed his stomach.
11:29His face twisted in pain.
11:31He turned to leave, then seemed to remember something.
11:33Do you have a license?
11:34Can you drive?
11:34I blinked.
11:35Yeah, I...
11:36His eyes lit up.
11:37Before I could finish, he tossed a set of car keys at me.
11:40I can't do this.
11:41My stomach is killing me.
11:43The boss's car is downstairs.
11:45I'll text you the address.
11:47Can you take Mr. Vitale's car back?
11:48Please.
11:49I owe you dinner.
11:51When you're done, take a cab home.
11:53Expense it to the company.
11:54I stared at the keys, then frantically shook my head.
11:57No, I can't...
11:58Too late.
11:59He was already running toward the restroom, clutching his stomach.
12:02I waited at my desk for a while.
12:04The assistant never came back.
12:05Eventually, I gave up and took the keys downstairs.
12:08Then I saw the car.
12:09A black luxury sedan.
12:11I'd only ever seen one on television.
12:13I took a deep breath, then opened the driver's door and climbed inside.
12:16I fastened my seatbelt.
12:17I reached up to adjust the rear view mirror and saw a man sitting in the back seat with
12:22his eyes closed.
12:23The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing the black serpent tattoo winding
12:28up his neck.
12:29He looked relaxed, almost lazily sexy.
12:32He'd probably been drinking.
12:34My brain short-circuited.
12:35I immediately slapped a hand over the mirror.
12:38Hallucination.
12:39Definitely a hallucination.
12:41Then I slowly peeked through my fingers.
12:44In the mirror, the man's eyes were open now.
12:46Dark eyes stared directly at me.
12:48For some reason, the moment our eyes met, his entire body seemed to stiffen.
12:52The hand resting on his knee curled slightly.
12:55Even his breathing slowed.
12:57I wanted to cry.
12:58I gripped the steering wheel.
13:00It was too late to jump out and run.
13:02That would probably make me look like I'd stolen something.
13:05I quickly gathered myself, then deliberately lowered my voice.
13:08Mr. Botano?
13:10Hi.
13:11Your assistant got sick, so he asked me to drive your car home.
13:15I didn't know you were already inside.
13:18Callan was silent for a moment.
13:20Then he looked away.
13:22Okay.
13:22He closed his eyes again, frowning slightly.
13:24I knew there was no way he could recognize me.
13:27Still, seeing his eyes closed made me secretly relax.
13:30Unfortunately, another problem immediately appeared.
13:33Where the hell was the ignition?
13:35I almost dismantled the driver's seat and still couldn't find it.
13:38Then, a low voice came from behind me.
13:41You don't know how to start it?
13:42I immediately sat straight.
13:43I nodded awkwardly, then quickly shook my head.
13:46Then I thought about it.
13:47Don't you know why I can't drive?
13:48My intern paycheck couldn't buy one of this car's wheels.
13:52It would be weirder if I did know.
13:54Whenever I got nervous, I picked at my fingers.
13:56I'd had the habit my whole life.
13:58My mind was completely blank now, so my fingers had already started twisting together.
14:04Mr. Vitale, I...
14:05Looked up.
14:06His eyes were fixed on my hands.
14:08A chill ran down my back.
14:09I was about to pull them away, but Callan had already looked toward the window.
14:13His throat moved.
14:14The car suddenly became very quiet.
14:16I pulled out my phone and searched for it.
14:18I typed half the question when a shadow fell over me.
14:21That familiar citrus scent surrounded me.
14:24Press this.
14:25His voice was right beside my ear.
14:26Warm breath brushed my skin.
14:29My entire body froze.
14:30Too close.
14:31Close enough that I could feel the warmth coming from him.
14:34Close enough that the ends of my hair nearly brushed his jaw.
14:37I didn't dare move.
14:39I almost forgot to breathe.
14:40But Callan only paused for a few seconds.
14:42Then calmly sat back down.
14:44He looked perfectly calm.
14:45Apparently, he'd really just been showing me how to start the car.
14:48I forced myself to calm down.
14:50Then mechanically started the engine.
14:52The whole ride was silent.
14:53Finally, we reached the garage beneath Callan's estate.
14:56I immediately jumped out.
14:58I didn't wait for an answer.
14:59I ran.
15:00Mr. Vitae, I'm leaving.
15:01Good night.
15:03Behind me, Callan watched me disappear.
15:06His eyes narrowed.
15:07I had weird dreams all night.
15:09The next morning, I dragged myself to work with dark circles under my eyes.
15:13The second I walked in, I saw Vanessa, who was supposed to be on the 34th floor, laughing
15:18in the middle of a crowd.
15:19Yeah, Mr. Vitae told me to come back down.
15:22Her makeup was perfect.
15:24He said I was new and needed time to make friends.
15:27I guess he thought I'd get lonely upstairs, so he sent me back down.
15:30Wow, he really spoils you.
15:32Vanessa tried to hold a smile, but she was clearly loving it.
15:35Then she noticed me.
15:36She immediately came over and hooked her arm through mine.
15:40Dear, I'm back.
15:41Aren't you happy to see me?
15:43The moment she started acting affectionate, I knew she was about to screw me over somehow.
15:47That thought flashed through my mind.
15:49Without thinking, I pulled my arm away.
15:51The atmosphere instantly changed.
15:53The office went dead silent.
15:55Vanessa's eyes turned cold.
15:56The vibe suddenly got weird.
15:58Luckily, our manager walked in and broke the silence.
16:01Everyone's here?
16:02Great.
16:03We're doing a team night tonight to welcome Sadie and Vanessa.
16:07Someone called out,
16:08Team night?
16:09Is the big boss coming?
16:10Our manager laughed.
16:13Mr. Vitaal is busy.
16:14You think he's coming to this party with us?
16:16Relax.
16:17He won't be there.
16:17Have fun.
16:18Everyone laughed.
16:19The tension finally eased.
16:21Hearing he wasn't coming, I quietly swallowed my refusal.
16:24After work, I went home to change after spilling something on my skirt.
16:28When I got to the karaoke bar, they'd already been there for an hour.
16:31I pushed open the door.
16:32Colored lights flashed through the dark, private room.
16:35And I immediately saw Callan, still in that black shirt.
16:38He held a barely-touched whiskey, lazily swirling the glass.
16:41Our manager said he wasn't coming.
16:43I instinctively backed up two steps.
16:46Unfortunately, our manager spotted me.
16:47Sadie?
16:48Get in here.
16:49We've been waiting for you.
16:50Several co-workers looked over.
16:51There was nowhere to hide, so I forced myself inside.
16:54Yeah.
16:55I'm here.
16:56I caught Callan turning his head.
16:58His gaze casually passed over me.
17:00I didn't dare look at him.
17:01Our manager gave me a push from behind.
17:03Sit down.
17:03You're late.
17:04That's the only seat left.
17:05I couldn't say a word, because the seat she was pointing at was right beside Callan.
17:09Luckily, Callan was talking quietly to someone on his other side.
17:12He didn't seem to notice me.
17:14I forced down my nerves, then stiffly sat down.
17:17The second I settled into the seat, Callan moved.
17:20He casually shifted his position.
17:22The fabric of his dark dress pants brushed against my calf.
17:25I froze.
17:26I quickly pulled my leg away, putting some distance between us.
17:29Less than 10 seconds later, I felt it again.
17:32Callan moved.
17:33The cool fabric brushed over my calf again.
17:35A shiver ran through me.
17:37I'd had enough and turned to look at Callan, but he was still speaking to someone else.
17:41His expression was cold and focused.
17:43He wasn't even glancing in my direction.
17:45Huh.
17:46Maybe he really wasn't doing it on purpose.
17:48Then pressed my legs closer together and prayed for the night to end.
17:53The next second, Callan's knee gently rested against mine.
17:56The fabric of his pants touched the edge of my skirt.
17:59Even through both layers of clothing, the heat from his leg almost burned me.
18:03I had nowhere else to move, but Callan acted like nothing had happened.
18:07Simply taking a sip of his drink.
18:10Then his arm lightly brushed my shoulder.
18:12I shot to my feet.
18:14I need the restroom.
18:15You guys keep going.
18:16I practically ran to the end of the hall.
18:19There's only one unisex restroom.
18:21I turned on the faucet.
18:22Cold water rushed over my fingers.
18:24I looked at myself in the mirror and muttered,
18:27He didn't mean it.
18:28No way he recognized me.
18:30Recognize what?
18:32I looked up.
18:34Callan stopped casually in the doorway.
18:36He stepped in and locked the door.
18:37Mr. Vitale, you need the restroom too?
18:40His eyes narrowed slightly.
18:42No.
18:42He kept coming closer.
18:44Very close.
18:45He braced his hands on the sink behind me, caging me in.
18:48His voice was low.
18:49I should recognize what?
18:52I quickly shook my head.
18:53I'm not.
18:54I...
18:54Sadie.
18:55He folded his arms and looked at me through the mirror.
18:57His voice was casual.
18:59What part of me haven't you seen?
19:01Like he was asking something completely ordinary.
19:04My brain stopped working.
19:05The faucet kept running.
19:07My face in the mirror went completely pale.
19:09Only one thought remained.
19:10He knew.
19:11He knew everything.
19:12Even though I already knew the answer,
19:14I still clung to a tiny bit of hope.
19:16You know?
19:16My voice shook.
19:17Callan didn't answer immediately.
19:19He just watched me for a moment.
19:20Then suddenly smiled.
19:22Now what?
19:22All the emotion building inside me stalled.
19:25I hesitated.
19:25Behind me, Callan grew quieter.
19:27Even his breathing softened.
19:29Was lying to me fun, Sadie?
19:30I nearly stopped breathing.
19:32I spun around.
19:33Callan's expression had completely darkened.
19:35I knew something was wrong the day I brought Vanessa upstairs.
19:38He moved in until he was almost pressed against me.
19:40Then I saw you in the car that night.
19:42And the feeling got stronger.
19:44So I had someone look into it.
19:46Vanessa wasn't Vanessa.
19:48You were.
19:48No wonder I could never find you.
19:50No wonder you disappeared without looking back.
19:53No wonder you deleted me.
19:54No wonder you ignored every email I sent.
19:56His voice grew harsher.
19:58You lied about your name.
20:00Your identity.
20:02Everything.
20:03Even your feelings for me.
20:05I was a little scared of Callan like this.
20:07I instinctively backed away.
20:10Humiliation made me lower my head.
20:12Callan stopped.
20:13His throat moved as if he were forcing something down.
20:16Sadie.
20:17Strangely enough.
20:17Is there anything you want to deny?
20:19Now that everything had finally been exposed, I wasn't panicking.
20:22Hearing him say it all out loud actually made something inside me feel.
20:26I'm sorry Callan.
20:27This was all my fault.
20:28You can get back at me however you want.
20:30I deserve it.
20:31I used Vanessa's identity because I wanted revenge on her.
20:34I lied to you.
20:35I'm not a good person.
20:36I'm sorry.
20:37Really.
20:38Callan pressed his lips together.
20:40As I apologized, his hand slowly curled into a fist.
20:44His knuckles tightened one by one until they turned white.
20:48Veins stood out on the back of his hand.
20:50He was holding himself back.
20:52I understood.
20:53A man like Callan Vitale had been completely fooled by me.
20:57That expression probably meant he wanted to hit something.
21:00Maybe me.
21:01I silently closed my eyes.
21:03Then I heard him speak again, stressing every word.
21:05Anything else?
21:08Other than apologizing, don't you have anything else to say?
21:11Anything else?
21:13Oh, right.
21:14The money.
21:14I swallowed.
21:15There's one more thing.
21:17The money you gave me.
21:18I used it to pay tuition.
21:20I'll pay you back once I save enough.
21:22And if you want to report me for fraud, I'll cooperate.
21:24Sadie!
21:25His voice suddenly rose.
21:26I flinched.
21:27Then he forced it back down.
21:28You think the money is what matters most to me?
21:29I blinked.
21:30My brain hadn't caught up before my mouth answered.
21:33Money matters.
21:34A vein jumped at Callan's temple.
21:36He looked like he wanted to laugh or cry.
21:39I bit my lip and thought harder, then shook my head.
21:42Callan, I really don't have anything to deny.
21:44I'm sorry.
21:45Everything was my...
21:46Before I could finish, Callan grabbed my wrist.
21:48He was trying so hard to control himself that his eyes had gone red.
21:51So you have nothing to deny, meaning your feelings were fake too?
21:54Everything you felt for me was fake?
21:55I stared at him.
21:56What?
21:57What was I to you?
21:58Did you never like me?
21:59Not even once?
22:00I completely froze.
22:01I watched his mouth move.
22:03I understood every word.
22:04But together, they sounded like another language.
22:07This was completely different from what I'd imagined.
22:09I'd pictured countless versions of this confrontation.
22:11He'd be furious, disgusted.
22:13He'd coldly tell me to get out.
22:14He'd make me pay for humiliating him.
22:16But never this.
22:17Never Callan looking at me like a wounded dog and asking whether I'd ever loved him.
22:21This wasn't supposed to happen.
22:23After all, I'd lied to him, did to him shamelessly.
22:25My stunned silence seemed to hurt him even more.
22:28Callan shut his eyes tightly, then released my wrist.
22:31Fine, I understand.
22:32I finally snapped out of it.
22:34Callan, I...
22:34I reached for his sleeve.
22:36My fingers missed.
22:37Callan pulled away, then walked out without looking back.
22:40I stared after him.
22:42The warmth from his hand still lingered on my wrist, slowly fading.
22:45After that night, Callan stopped visiting our office.
22:48I spent several days trying to work up the courage to contact him.
22:51Then I started sending him friend requests, one after another.
22:53Nothing.
22:54He really seemed determined never to speak to me again.
22:56I stared blankly at my phone.
22:57The screen lit up, went dark, then lit up again.
23:00I was wondering what else I could do when Mom called.
23:02I pushed my laptop aside and walked into the stair hall.
23:04Hi, Mom.
23:05What's wrong?
23:05Nothing, sweetie.
23:06I just wanted to ask how things are going with your co-workers.
23:08I went quiet.
23:09A window at the end of the hall was open.
23:11Cold air slipped down the back of my collar.
23:14I rubbed my neck and somehow thought of Callan again.
23:17A dull ache spread through my chest.
23:18Mom immediately noticed something was wrong.
23:21Sadie, what's wrong?
23:22Is someone at work picking on you?
23:23If they are, maybe invite them out for dinner.
23:25You know how people are.
23:26Once you've treated them, they'll feel bad giving you a hard time, right?
23:28That again.
23:29My head started aching.
23:31Mom, I still have work.
23:32I'll call you later.
23:33Before she could say anything else, I hung up.
23:35The motion sensor light went out.
23:37I stood in the dark for two seconds.
23:40Then pushed open the door and returned to my desk.
23:42The air smelled sweet, like coffee.
23:45Then I saw my computer.
23:46Brown liquid was dripping down the monitor, drop by drop, onto the keyboard.
23:50The computer was dead.
23:51The folders beside it were soaked.
23:53Several days of work.
23:54Work I hadn't backed up.
23:55Destroyed.
23:56All of it.
23:57Vanessa stood beside my desk.
23:59An empty coffee cup was still in her hand.
24:01Her expression was innocent, like a cat that had knocked over a flower pot.
24:05I'm so sorry, Sadie.
24:06I accidentally spilled my coffee on your computer.
24:09It should be fine, right?
24:10I really didn't mean to.
24:11I didn't have time to deal with her.
24:12I grabbed some paper towels, then frantically tried to wipe everything down.
24:15It was useless.
24:16Vanessa covered her mouth and laughed.
24:18It's okay, you can just redo it.
24:20It's not that much work, right?
24:21My scalp peekled.
24:22I slowly looked at her.
24:24Something buried deep in my memory woke up again.
24:26For a second, I was back in high school, standing inside a counselor's office, my hands gripping
24:31the hang of my shirt, my fingers white.
24:33I'd finally forced myself to report Vanessa.
24:36Every insult, every humiliation, every time she'd bullied me, my whole body had shaken
24:40while I spoke.
24:41And inside my head, I'd kept telling myself the same thing.
24:44Don't be scared, Sadie.
24:45You're standing up for yourself.
24:47There's nothing wrong with that.
24:48You're being brave.
24:50Vanessa just leaned against the wall and picked at her ear.
24:52Her look said it all.
24:54What are you going to do about it?
24:55And she was right.
24:56There was nothing I could do.
24:57Because when Dad arrived, his first reaction wasn't to ask whether I was okay.
25:01It was to shove me aside.
25:02Bullying?
25:03They're kids.
25:03Kids mess around.
25:04Sadie's always been too sensitive.
25:05Don't take her seriously.
25:06Vanessa smiled.
25:07Exactly, Sadie.
25:08What bullying?
25:09I was just joking around.
25:10If you're really upset, I can apologize.
25:12Her smile widened.
25:14I'm sorry.
25:16Dad interrupted before I could say anything.
25:18Why apologize?
25:19He pushed me, stepped in front of me, and patted Vanessa's shoulder.
25:23You're a good kid.
25:24You don't owe anyone an apology.
25:26Then he looked at me.
25:28Sadie, what are you standing there for?
25:29Shake her hand.
25:30She was trying to be your friend.
25:32Why do you have to make everything such a big deal?
25:34If you act like this, no one's going to want to be friends with you.
25:36I stood there, staring at my own father like he was a stranger.
25:40Cold from head to toe.
25:42Behind everyone else, Vanessa stuck her tongue out at me.
25:44Innocent.
25:45Smug.
25:45Exactly like she looked now.
25:47Let it go.
25:48Let it go.
25:48Let it go.
25:49That was all my parents ever told me.
25:50What had all that letting go ever given me?
25:52I clenched the paper towel in my hand.
25:54My nails dug into my palm.
25:55My breathing quickened.
25:56Years of emotion had been pressing against my chest, and today something finally broke.
25:59What had I done wrong?
26:00Why did she keep doing this to me?
26:02And why had I kept letting her?
26:03Even my revenge had been pathetic and twisted.
26:06I'd screwed everything up.
26:08I hated myself for it.
26:09God, I hated myself.
26:10Vanessa was still standing there, putting on her disgusting, innocent voice.
26:14I swear, I didn't mean to.
26:16Then she actually reached out to pat my shoulder.
26:19My body moved before my brain did.
26:21I lunged forward, grabbed a fistful of Vanessa's hair, and slapped her.
26:26Twice.
26:27She stumbled sideways.
26:29Apparently all those years of running errands had paid off.
26:31I wasn't as painfully thin as she was, but I was big and healthy.
26:34I was stronger than she expected.
26:36Vanessa screamed, never expecting me to fight back, let alone this hard.
26:39I yanked her to the floor, her knee slamming into the table leg.
26:43You crazy bitch!
26:44You hit me!
26:45I grooted my teeth and kicked her twice, then jumped on her and started slapping her.
26:49We ended up wrestling on the floor, knocking over chairs and sending folders everywhere.
26:54When our manager rushed in, she screamed,
26:56What are you people doing?
26:57Pull them apart!
26:58A few guys finally snapped out of it and grabbed my arms.
27:00Someone pulled Vanessa away from me.
27:02It was Enzo, the same assistant who'd shoved me before.
27:04I glared at him and slapped him so hard his glasses flew off.
27:07Eventually, they pinned me to a chair.
27:09My hair was a mess, my sleeve half torn, and I still had a fisthole of Vanessa's hair.
27:13Across from me, Vanessa glared back, her face swollen.
27:15Our manager was about to lose it when the doorway suddenly went quiet.
27:18Someone whispered,
27:20Mr. Vitalis, look.
27:21The crowd parted.
27:22Callan stood in the doorway, watching us coldly.
27:24He'd probably just left a meeting.
27:26His suit was perfectly neat, completely out of place in the wrecked office.
27:30Chairs were overturned, papers and folders covered the floor.
27:32By then, I'd finally calmed down.
27:34I silently covered the cut on my arm and said nothing.
27:37Vanessa had always been more popular than me,
27:39so almost everyone immediately sided with her.
27:42Sadie, you can't just attack someone like that.
27:44Mr. Vitali, we all saw it. Sadie started it.
27:46Vanessa didn't even fight back at first.
27:49She's always so quiet.
27:50I had no idea she was this crazy.
27:52No one asked what Vanessa had done to me.
27:54No one cared.
27:54Vanessa sat on the floor, her hair a mess and one cheek swollen.
27:57The second she saw Callan, her eyes filled with tears.
27:59They rolled silently down her cheeks,
28:01somehow making her look even more pitiful than if she'd been sobbing.
28:04She ignored everyone defending her.
28:06Instead, she reached for Callan's pant leg.
28:07Her voice was soft.
28:10Mr. Vitali, Sadie just attacked me.
28:13I don't even know why.
28:16I was so scared.
28:17Her fingers were about to touch his suit pants.
28:20Callan looked down,
28:21then casually moved her wrist aside with his shoe,
28:23like she was something in the way.
28:25Vanilla's hand dropped back to the floor.
28:27She froze.
28:29Callan didn't look at her again.
28:31He walked straight through the crowd.
28:33His polished leather shoes stepped over the paper scattered across the floor.
28:37Then he stopped in front of me.
28:39He looked down,
28:40and gently pulled my hand away from my injury.
28:42His movements were careful.
28:44His voice was low and rough.
28:45Move your hand.
28:46Let me see.
28:47He pried my fingers open,
28:49exposing the cuts to the air.
28:51They sting like hell.
28:52I opened my mouth to say I was fine.
28:54Come with me.
28:56That familiar citrus scent wrapped around me again.
28:59I completely forgot to resist.
29:01Behind us, everyone sucked in a breath.
29:04Callan didn't look back.
29:05In front of the entire office,
29:07he pulled me down the hall toward his office.
29:08I stumbled behind him.
29:10Maybe beating the hell out of Vanessa
29:11had finally shaken something loose inside me,
29:13because staring at Callan's broad back suddenly made my nose sting.
29:16Then words started spilling out.
29:17Callan, my feelings for you weren't fake.
29:19I knew what I did was wrong.
29:21I shouldn't have used Vanessa's identity.
29:23I shouldn't have lied about who I was.
29:25I wanted revenge on her,
29:26but I never should have done it like that.
29:28And I shouldn't have dragged you into it.
29:30I'm sorry.
29:32Really.
29:33But I did love you.
29:35That part was real.
29:36When I left you, I was devastated.
29:39I'm sorry I'm so complicated.
29:43I'm sorry I'm a coward.
29:45But I never wanted to hurt you.
29:48I love you.
29:50I really, really love you.
29:52Callan didn't answer.
29:53He didn't slow down or even look back.
29:55I followed him down the long hallway,
29:57my heart sinking.
29:58He didn't want to talk to me.
30:00Maybe he never would again.
30:01Tears blurted my eyes,
30:03but I bit my lip and stayed quiet.
30:04My hands started to slip from his.
30:06Callan suddenly tightened his grip,
30:08hard enough to hurt.
30:09The next second,
30:10he shoved open his office door.
30:12He pulled me forward,
30:13making me stumble a few steps,
30:14the door shut behind us.
30:16Before I could react,
30:16my back hit the cold surface.
30:18Callan,
30:20I didn't finish.
30:21He kissed me,
30:23hard,
30:24almost angry.
30:25He pinned me against the door,
30:26leaving me nowhere to go.
30:28His tongue slipped past my lips,
30:29tangling with mine.
30:30I grabbed the front of his shirt
30:31without thinking.
30:32Slowly, the kiss softened.
30:33He sucked gently on my lower lip
30:34as his hand slid from beside my head
30:36to my waist,
30:37pulling me against him.
30:38Our bodies pressed together,
30:40warmth seeping through
30:41the thin layers between us.
30:42Eventually,
30:43Callan pulled back slightly,
30:44his forehead rested against mine.
30:46His voice was impossibly rough.
30:49Finally,
30:50just as good as I imagined.
30:52Stop saying weird things.
30:54I wiped my tears and looked down,
30:56too embarrassed to meet his eyes.
30:58Then something occurred to him.
31:00Wait,
31:01when did you ever send me Vanessa's photo?
31:03Are you sure you're remembering that right?
31:06Callan frowned,
31:07then handed me his phone.
31:09I took it.
31:10My fingers shook slightly.
31:11I scrolled through our old messages.
31:13Very quickly,
31:13I found several conversations
31:15that made my face burn.
31:16His texts were shamelessly explicit.
31:18Several of my voice messages
31:20were still saved.
31:21I kept scrolling.
31:22Then came the pictures we'd exchanged.
31:24Suggestive angles,
31:25shirts half undone.
31:26Every single one was still there in our chat.
31:28Callan stood beside me,
31:29looking at the same screen.
31:30His breathing visibly changed.
31:32I refused to look at him.
31:33I just kept scrolling.
31:34All the way back to the day we met.
31:37Nothing.
31:38There really wasn't a picture of Vanessa.
31:40He'd never received one.
31:43I froze.
31:44Then how did you know she was Vanessa on the first day?
31:47You told me you were interning here.
31:49The timing matched.
31:50The name matched.
31:51There was only one.
31:52Vanessa.
31:53You really think I fell for a face?
31:54He stepped back and cupped my face,
31:56looking straight into my eyes.
31:58Sadie, there's something between us.
32:00I swear.
32:01That night in the car,
32:02I didn't even open my eyes.
32:03But the second you got in,
32:05something in me just knew it was you.
32:07And every time I hear your voice,
32:09I feel at peace.
32:10He paused.
32:11Sometimes I swear I'm your damn dog.
32:13Why else would just hearing your voice make me this happy?
32:16I pressed my lips together,
32:17then couldn't help smiling.
32:19I buried my face against his chest.
32:21But you didn't even know what I looked like.
32:23What if you hated my face?
32:25I hesitated,
32:26then added more quietly,
32:27Or what if you didn't like women my size?
32:30Callan's arms tightened around me.
32:32I never thought about it.
32:35But I don't think it would have mattered.
32:36No matter what you looked like,
32:38I would have liked you.
32:39It's weird.
32:40I couldn't control it even when I tried.
32:41After Callan and I finally told each other everything,
32:45the weight I'd been carrying disappeared.
32:46And our relationship only grew stronger.
32:49Six months later,
32:50stories about Vanessa bullying her college roommate
32:52suddenly resurfaced online.
32:53Messages, photos, videos,
32:55one incident after another spread everywhere.
32:57By the time the news reached the company,
32:59Vanessa's desk was already empty.
33:00Some co-workers were shocked.
33:02Some whispered about it for a while.
33:03Eventually, everyone went back to work.
33:05I got a call from my parents one Friday night.
33:07Mom sounded unusually careful.
33:10Sadie?
33:11I owe you an apology.
33:13I saw what happened with Vanessa.
33:16You used to tell me she bullied you,
33:18and I never took it seriously.
33:20I kept telling you to avoid trouble
33:22or to tolerate it.
33:23I was wrong.
33:25Dad's voice came quietly from the background.
33:28I was wrong too.
33:29I held the phone, silent for a long time,
33:31then finally said,
33:33It's over now.
33:34I hung up,
33:35then stood by the window for a while.
33:38Callan came up behind me.
33:39He put a mug of hot chocolate into my hands.
33:42He didn't ask anything.
33:44He just wrapped an arm around my shoulders
33:46and let me lean against him.
33:47I turned around,
33:49then kissed his cheek.
33:51Callan laughed softly
33:52and pulled me closer.
33:54The end.
33:54hand.
33:55The end.
33:55The end.
