“You ran.”
“You said to go home.”
He snickered, and for some reason it sounded sexier over the phone. “You did well today.”
“Are you going to call Atticus and tell him the same thing?”
I didn’t want to be treated differently… and yet some small part of me did. I was just confused.
“I didn’t need to call him, because unlike you, he didn’t run away, he actually approached me while you were busy flinging yourself into the cab. After all, we just won a big case without even going to court.”
Of course he did! Kiss-ass.
“I’ll keep that in mind for next time—”
“Who said there was going to be a next time?”
“You just said I did a good job.”
“I said you did well today. Tomorrow is a brand new day. Plus, there are still sixteen students left. Prepare yourself for Monday.”
“Prepare myself?”
“Goodnight Thea.”
“Wait…” I almost pleaded into the receiver, but he was already gone, “Urgh!”
“Tough day?” the cabby asked.
“No. Tough professor.”
“Stick it out. I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end.”
“God, I hope so.”
If it wasn’t, I was torturing myself for nothing.
All I wanted to do was get home as quickly as I could and crawl into bed. As I walked up to the front door, I slipped my heels off and relished the feel of the cool floor. I opened the door and was welcomed by Selene’s loud greeting.
“You were badass!” she squealed, as she jumped up from behind the couch.
“Thanks—” I replied.
Before I could utter another word, a shiny glint caught my eye.
“What the hell is that in your nose?” I asked sternly.
“You like it?” she cooed, touching the ring.
I could feel my eyebrow twitch.
“Selene, that better be fake, or so help me God, I will rip it out of your nose.”
“What’s the big deal—?”
“Take it out. Now.”
“Thea!”
