I was about to offer her some water when she dropped a casual bombshell. "So, Ari was at the party last night. Looked pretty cozy with that actress from one of the new drama series. He couldn’t keep his hands off her." I tried to hide my reaction, keeping my expression carefully neutral as I took a sip of coffee. But my hands were shaking. That slithery feeling…the nasty one I’d felt in the locker room…it was there again. The mention of Ari at some party, getting cozy with another woman…it shouldn’t have bothered me. He was nothing to me. I had no right to be jealous or hurt.
