Rick's POV
'No!' This isn't happening," I whispered inwardly as soon as I saw her coming out of the car.
Was Catherine finally back in New York?
I wondered, but a slight pull of excitement waved over me as I sat over in the car, staring before I stepped out. It was a new hope and light in the midst of the storms that had never stopped to consume my heart.
The moment our gaze met, she frowned, causing my heart to drop, but a small smile still remained on my face.
"Look who we have here," Emilia blurted, giving Catherine a smug expression.
Catherine kept staring at the two of us, never saying a word, before turning back into her car.
"Yeah, go, you loser," Emilia sneered as Catherine turned on the engine of her car.
I remained glued as I watched her turn and drive away. My heart bled. I wanted to stop her, to hold her again, but no, not when Emilia was there.
Emilia turned to me, glaring, then hissed and stepped back into the car.
