In front of the stove, Kade raised his eyes heavenward and mouthed soundlessly, “F*ck.” It seemed he was really going to need to find a rope… either to tie up his own hands or to helpfully give to Addie. She should just go ahead and strangle him if he was going to continue being like this. Just now, he had come far too close to giving in, well knowing that in his case, giving in would be the same as giving up. If Rhys ever found out, Kade was sure he was going to have a good laugh at his expense. But how could he explain what he just did to Arden? No matter how one looked at it, it was so strange how Kade just pushed him away and then pretended like nothing was going on in front of Addie. He completely acted like he had something to hide. How would Arden still not be able to get it?
