Too many eyes, holding a different emotion in each pair, stared at me at once as we all stood outside the police premises.
It was Eli questioning every decision Iโve made about Christian. It was the officers, each of them studying me too closely, silently asking who I was and how Christian and I had walked out of that storage unit aloneโlike fugitives slipping out of a hiding place once the coast was clear. It was the lawyer who showed up for Christian, his stare heavy and accusing, as if I were the prime suspect in a crime no one had yet named. And it was Jade and Adrian. The youngest didnโt need to speak; the threat was clear in his glare alone. Adrian, on the other hand, watched me with restrained gratitudeโbut both of them made one thing obvious:
Their loyalty was to Christian, and I was standing on the wrong side of it.
And then, it was him. Seated in the back of his car, watching me through the closed window. Even through the glass, I could feel itโthe softness in his eyes, the quiet tenderness he didnโt try to hide.
It unravelled me slowly, melting something in my chest I am fighting so hard to keep frozen when it comes to him.
