Our relationship is over, and I shouldn't stand in the way of what you two might have." Jake felt a lump form in his throat. He gripped his phone tightly and asked, "Do you honestly believe that Anna and I are meant to be together?" Kallie didn't answer. Her gaze drifted to the heavy rain pouring outside her window. The rain persisted, weaving a dense, entangled thread that blurred everything. She was done being caught in the tangled web with Jake.
