Jade blows off my warning and looks to her fiancé. “Tanner, I’m giving you one chance to make the right decision. You get in that elevator with her, and I will see to it you lose everything, and I do mean everything. Or you walk away with me. Right now.”
I step into the elevator and my gaze jumps to Tanner. My fingers pause over the buttons. His face is red with fury, his eyes churning with conflict and despair. Barely a beat passes before he steps back, joining Jade’s side. His head drops, gaze cast to the floor, hands moving to his pockets.
The last thing I see before the elevator doors close is Jade’s pleased smirk and her arm curling around his, the sparkle in her eye beating at me like a heavy drum. The elevator descends, carrying me down into the ship’s bowels, and I close my eyes. I now know three things: I cannot play. Tanner Christensen wasn’t, isn’t, and never will be mine.
And I have to find a way to get the hell off this ship.
