[Addison Sloane]

Felix's reassurance that things were fine did not actually compel her to believe him. He wasn't the one who threw himself at her. There was no way he would understand the sheer humiliation of being pushed away. But she kept her smile up, nodding like it made a difference.

She blinked when the door was knocked on. The sigh of relief could not have been more obvious but Felix decided to stick around. And the hair sweeping and the gentle kiss on the forehead did nothing to assuage the whirl of emotions inside the brunette. She almost clung on to Felix but he was already pulling away and when the door closed behind her friend, Addison dropped on to her couch and screamed into her pillow.

Good God the embarrassment.
