Was Tristan actually sulking? A grown man, sulking like a teenager who\u2019d been told he couldn\u2019t go to\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>a party?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>My own food sat untouched in front of me, I\u2019d lost my appetite too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After sitting there for what felt like forever, I finally gave up and went to the kitchen. Tristan\u2019s plate was already clean and put away. Even angry, he\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>couldn\u2019t help but clean up after himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I went to my room and decided to reach out to someone I hadn\u2019t spoken to a long time. I had no idea if his number still worked, but I dialed it from\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>memory anyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I had it memorized. We used to be really close before everything went wrong, before I had to cut everyone out of my life to keep Daxon happy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He picked up after the second ring but didn\u2019t say anything. I knew he was there he always had this way of figuring out who was calling before he\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello?\u201d Silence stretched between us like a wound that had never properly healed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Drake?\u201d Still nothing. I checked my phone to make sure the call was still connected. It was.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I know you\u2019re angry and probably hate me right now, but I want you to know I\u2019m really sorry. I\u2019ll hang up now, but I\u2019m going to call you tomorrow and hope maybe you\u2019ll want to talk to me then.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I waited, praying he\u2019d say something, anything. Even if it was just to tell me to never call again.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBye. I love you,\u201d I whispered before ending the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The silence in my room felt deafening after that. I was feeling so down, so completely alone, that I wanted to crawl under my covers and never come\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But I\u2019d promised to visit Orion and Sarah, and I needed to keep that promise I needed to see family who didn\u2019t make everything so complicated just by\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>existing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I went back to my bathroom and freshened up again, choosing simple clothe jeans, a plain top, comfortable shoes. I grabbed my small purse and\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>headed for Tristan\u2019s room to see if he was ready.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t knock before opening his door. Old habits die hard, and we\u2019d been ling together long enough that knocking had started to feel unnecessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I also had to keep the siblingship going.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The moment I stepped inside, my steps slowed. Tristan was standing in the middle of his room with just a towel around his waist, using another towel to dry his hair.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Water droplets still clung to his chest and shoulders, catching the afternoon ght streaming through his windows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When he turned and our eyes met, I couldn\u2019t pull my gaze away from his bod Every muscle was perfectly defined, his skin golden and smooth except for a few small scars that only made him more beautiful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tristan was effortlessly gorgeous. Why did fate have to give me someone so erfect and then make him completely off\u2013limits?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>|||\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>O\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>J\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>19:38 Tue, Jan 6 Tn\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 89\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I took a deep breath and felt heat pooling low in my belly, making me shift uncomfortably.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I was just checking to see if you\u2019re ready to go, I managed, my voice coming out breathy and strange. \u201cAre you\u2026 what are you doing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u0f4a\u0f71\u0f72, 42%\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I took a step backward because Tristan was moving toward me with slow, deliberate steps. His eyes never left mine, and when they finally did, they dropped to my lips in a way that made me suck in a sharp breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Was he going to kiss me?
