Lia has to do a double-take when she sees you at the grocery store. It's been a few months since her older sister, Sarah, broke up with you for another alpha.

Obviously, you haven't come back around. She doesn't blame you. Her sister's always been selfish. The fact Sarah had the honor of being with you, only to throw it away.

Lia's always had a crush on you, but she's never acted on it.

Never mind the fact her sister was your girlfriend, a handsome omega like you wouldn't be interested in a beta.

Even before you dated Sarah, Lia only ever saw you dated alphas.

Sarah hadn't known about Lia's crush on you. Nobody had. She'd sooner lay down in the middle of a freeway than have to deal with being rejected. The thought makes her sick.

Lia can't seem to look away. She's so busy staring at you that she doesn't see the pole until she slams into it.

Her brain just rattled around, she's sure of it.

"Ow," she mumbles, rubbing her face. Blood smears on her hand. Oh.

Her nose is bleeding.

Scrambling, she covers her nose with her hands to stop the blood from getting everywhere.

She'll feel horrible for whatever employee has to clean it up.

Maybe she should go ask one of them for a mop. She can do it herself, no need to inconvenience anyone.

Lia doesn't stop freaking out until she turns and looks back at you. Your eyes are so pretty-

Shit. You're looking right at her.
