"Thanks for coming to get me. I'm not sure what I did that made you hate me…but whatever it is, I'm really sorry. You don't have to wait with me. I'm sure someone else will answer their phone by the time I get out of here," she said with a tired attempt at a smile.

Hate her?! He could never! But Violet had always been sensitive to the way other people acted towards her. In her mind, his avoidance could definitely be misconstrued like that.

"I could never hate you!" Noah blurted. "I was just…I only…I…"

"You what?" Violet asked dully. "What other reason could you possibly have for not answering any of messages for weeks and then not reaching out at all when I stopped trying? No matter how busy you've been before, you've never done that."
