I gaped at him.
“What he means,” I said quickly, “is that he’s worried you’ll get hurt again. It’s better if you get healed. I’ll be with Kieran. I’ll see you as soon as I can.”
“Seph – “
“We don’t have time to argue. They’ll be on us any second. Move,” Elliot said.
Kieran and I jumped out of the car.
Just as we did, Ash grabbed my hand again.
“Be safe,” he said.
I leaned over and kissed him on the lips.
Kieran growled.
But Dev looked away.
I don’t know which hurt more.
My breath hitched. I wanted him to look at me. To see me.
But he didn’t turn.
Whatever.
I shut the door behind me and followed Kieran. We slipped into the shadows as the car peeled out of the lot and back onto the road.
Then we waited.
Sure enough, the SUVs were still circling the area, searching for us.
We ducked lower behind the wall.
I hoped Dev managed to pull them away.
“Here.”
Kieran gestured to a plain red sedan that looked about thirty years old. He broke into the garage office and rummaged through the lockers until he found the right key.
Then we were off, heading the opposite direction down the highway.
Chapter 32
Kieran
I didn’t know if I wanted to strangle her or kiss her.
Seph sat beside me in moody silence, staring out the window like the trees rushing past were the most fascinating thing in the world.
I scowled.
She didn’t get to ignore me now.
Not after what she’d done.
“Seph,” I said. It came out like a growl.
