Faye got home before Tessa Caldwell. Upon seeing the empty house, he knew Tessa hadn't returned yet; she was still out meeting Milo Morton.
Milo Morton was like a thorn in his heart.
The whole house was so quiet without a sound, which only made him feel incredibly lonely.
He stood on the balcony, staring downstairs, watching Milo Morton's car slide in and park below.
Watching Tessa get out of Milo Morton's car, seeing them talk and laugh together, he had always treated it with indifference... but when he saw Milo Morton actually hug Tessa, all his nerves tensed up.
Faye's hands turned white as he gripped the railing, his nails dug deeply into his flesh, the pain so distinct... Milo Morton, how dare he hug her!
He admitted, he was jealous.
Not to mention the embrace, just seeing the two of them together made him feel as if his heart was weighed down by a heavy piece of lead, an endless torment.
