Cara’s POV
For a moment, I stand there totally stunned and unsure what to do, how to continue, how to fully process what I’m seeing.
Alaric doesn’t appear to be holding the woman in return, but I know that doesn’t mean anything. He’s not pulling away either. At least, not fast enough to signal his repulsion in what the woman is doing.
I don’t care if he’s the instigator or just going along with it.
We aren’t a couple. He’s free to do whatever he wants with himself and his personal time.
Yet, this behavior, to me, shows that his desire to repair and rebuild things with me is just a ruse. Or maybe a passing fancy.
If he has time to be fooling around with other women, then he isn’t as dedicated to me as I had once thought.
I’m embarrassed to have ever considered that he might be genui
