Chapter 46

"Can we talk?" Jacob asks, just above my shoulder.

I look at Max who has an unreadable expression on his face.

"Sure," I growl, throwing my napkin on the plate.

Max grabs my wrist halting me.

"You don't have anything sharp on you, do you?"

I look at him confused before realizing he's nervous I might commit murder.

"Not that I would judge you, but you know... it's my sister's wedding," he winks, and I silently laugh.

Just outside the dining room I come face to face with Jacob. He's staring at me with wide eyes, and my hands are balled into fists.

"Why are you here?" he asks, his tone much softer than what I'm feeling inside. I'm angry, and hurt. Things I wanted to say to his face after our wedding on the tip of my tongue. Things I wanted to do to him raging in the palm of my hands.

He turns, his hands running through his hair frustrated.

"Are you with Max?" he finally asks, turning to face me once again.

"Yes I am! So what?" I yell, not caring if everyone hears me
