But he didn't have to treat her this way. If he really, truly didn't want to be with her, he could have just said so. She would have stepped aside for them…
This was just breaking her heart…
She grabbed her bag, stood up, and walked out the door.
When the round ended, Leo Joyce looked up and saw that the woman on the sofa was gone. He stood, exchanged a few words with the others, and then left.
Once outside, he saw Tiana just reaching the top of the stairs.
He frowned deeply, stuffing his hands in his pockets as he followed her.
By the time he got downstairs, Tiana had already hailed a taxi and was gone.
Worried, he got in his car and followed close behind.
Leo didn't relax until he saw her get home safely.
He leaned back in his seat, pulled a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it.
Gloom settled in his eyes…
'I've never felt like such an asshole…'
'Loving one woman, yet being drawn to another…'
'I've always known what I wanted. I've always been so sure of who I like.'
