The Luna Choosing Game

I pressed my lips hard together and lowered my head so I wouldn’t have to look him in the eye. I hadn’t talked to him since the morning out in the gardens. He didn’t know all the new things I had heard from Bridget herself.

She had been so entirely indifferent to him and me sleeping together. After she ‘came to my rescue‘ against Nathan, she had literally told me she didn’t care if we had slept together or not. I knew then that those words would hurt Julian, just as I did now. I still didn’t want to tell him.

“It was her,” Veronica said. “I’m sure of it.”

Having suspected Bridget from the start, though hoping I was wrong, I believed Veronica. Bridget and Nicholas were the only two who knew I had been out late that night, other than Brian. But I couldn’t imagine Brian would say a word. And Nicholas wouldn’t lie to himself about this.

It could have only been Bridget from the start.
