Stroking my chin with narrowed eyes, I say, "I'm genuinely curious. What date are you talking about?"

Carmella scoffs, looking confused. "I just told you - our date is in two hours."

"What makes you think that after everything you've done here, I want to sit across from you so we can have a meal together? Does that sound right in your head?" "There's no way you're about to do this shit to me. You promised!"

"Did I?"

"Ugh! The first thing you did when you returned from that trip was go to that orphanage and hospital to spend time with those fucking kids! This was supposed to be dedicated to me and now you want to act like it's not happening?" "Because it's not." I rub my temples, irritated. "You know what? That's it."

"What?"

"During the past three weeks, I've been thinking a lot. So many things have changed and I've decided that I'm not doing this anymore."

"What?" She chuckles in disbelief, her glare threatening. "You didn't just say that to me."

"Just so you're certain of what I said, I'll repeat it. I'm not doing this anymore."

She grits her teeth. "Don't fucking play that game with me. You know exactly what's going to happen if you-"

"Go ahead and do it." I lean back in my seat with a blank expression.

"You're wrong if you think this is going to be like the last time when I couldn't bring myself to expose everything just because I didn't want to completely lose you. What's the point when you don't even want me? I'm definitely doing it this time!" "Is something blocking your ears? I told you to do it, so go ahead."

Breathing hard, she takes out her phone and begins typing. I only glance at her as she does it, then close my eyes with a relaxed sigh.

Once she's done, she says, "And send!" She snickers in a sinister way as she looks over at me. "That's it! You're fucking done!"

I slightly raise my eyebrows as I open my eyes and scoff. "You think so?"

Seeing how calm I am, she suspiciously narrows her eyes as her smile fades. "What did you do?"

I smirk. "You seem to have lost your confidence so quickly. Why?"

"What the fuck did you do? Tell me!"
