My husband hasn’t contacted me once in five years, and my mother-in-law is trying to kill me.

I ran away and ended up at the mansion of an old friend, Evan Hasworth.

“Just because your husband’s gone, does that mean it’s okay to show up at another man’s house?”

Evan, whom I hadn’t seen in five years, hadn’t changed much, but he had definitely grown more mature.

The broader shoulders and the slightly slimmer face made me feel just how much time had passed.

“…I came to return something.”

I hesitated, gauging Evan’s reaction.

His expression was so indifferent, I couldn’t tell if he was bothered by my sudden appearance.

“Whatever it is, I don’t need it.”

No—he definitely seemed annoyed.

“…It’s snowing outside. And it’s coming down disgustingly hard.”

“Ah, s-sorry. I’ll leave right away.”

“Demia Lawrence, when did you become so clueless? Did you bury your brain in the snow on your way here?”

“What?”

“Stay. At least until the snow lets up.”

But if Evan really dislikes me, then why does he keep holding me back?

“I still resent you. I still hate you, Demia Lawrence.”

Will I ever be able to untangle the web of lies and truths that binds us?
