“Thank you… for being so kind to me tonight.” She breathes. “You’ve always made me feel so welcome here… you’ve always been a good friend.” That makes a gritty noise come out of me, and I place my glass down on the counter. “Let’s make one thing real clear, right fucking now.” Leaning both hands on either side of her hips leaves me looming over her, so close I’m immediately wrapped up in her floral scent. “I don’t want to be your friend, Skylar.”
