As I stormed off, I had no idea that every move between Ethan and me had been witnessed by Leah
After I got home, I took a shower and stood in front of the mirror. The person in the mirror had fair skin, and her features were as delicate as if they'd stepped right out of a painting each aspect carrying just the right amount of charm.
