Bella and Open
More and more lately, Bella felt like she'd been going crazy. Kristoph had just come back from the dead and she couldn't even say a word to him? The man who practically raised her? Weddings also reminded her that she was utterly alone in this world and that she'd never find whatever it was these two men had together, not while she was still desperately in love with Willis.
She glanced over at him talking to the new guy. There was something odd about him, like no matter how much light was on him he seemed to be a bit dimmer than anyone else he stood next to. It gave her chills down the back of her spine and she tried to ignore the fact that it was probably just part of her brain working against her.
She snuck behind them and grabbed a bottle of what appeared to be vodka and retreated to the back of the party, nursing the bottle all by her lonesome.
