As soon as Gage saw what was in my hand his eyes widened slightly but he said nothing. I guess I was just in the questioning mood tonight because after I couldn't stand the silence I asked, "Are you really going to leave the bakery?" although I wasn't sure if I wanted the answer.
He took another moment before he finally opened his mouth to say, "I'm planning on it."
"But why?" I took another step forward.
"Is it really not that obvious? You heard what's going on in my life. I am toxic, Katy."
"That's not what I heard. I heard that Sparrow and his stupid organization were toxic. Not you."
"But I'm a part of all that," he ran his fingers through his hair exasperatedly. "As much as I hate it, they run my life. And when something doesn't go the way they planned, they hurt the people I care about. You saw it firsthand tonight."
The sound of glass breaking was still fresh on my mind, but for some reason, it didn't have the same effect on me as it did earlier. That wasn't half as scary as Gage leaving.
