I fervently prayed that Gabriel hadn't slept with the redhead after he met me. I didn't think I would ever be able to recover from a betrayal like that. I faintly registered that Gabriel was still staring at me. I could feel an echo of his emotions in my chest, and I tried to push it away. "Skylar…I…." For once, it appeared he was lost for words. "Don't," I snapped, my anger coming out in a rush. "It was a long time ago. I didn't even know you existed." His voice was soft, filled with emotion, and I still couldn't look him in the face. "You could have told me." I was actually proud of myself for keeping my voice cold, steady, and devoid of emotion. It was all fake of course, inside I wanted to break down, but I was not going to let him see me like that.
