Summary
“Alina,” he says. She’s not sure if he meant in greeting or just a statement. But either way he meant it, a treacherous piece of her still loves how his voice sounds when he says her name. How he stretches out the sounds in his rough but soothing and deep tone.
No. Don’t even go there. You have a boyfriend. His name is Mal. You love Mal. Stop focusing on the timbre of your son-of-a-bitch ex’s voice. You’re better than that.
She swallows hard, “Aleksander.”
He blinks away whatever stupor he worked himself into and manages to say, “How…how are you?”
As if nothing ever happened between them. The absolute nerve of him.
She glares and says, “All of a sudden you care?”
They both decide to do what they should be doing in terms of what is expected of them. The question is whether or not it’s really for the best.
