I nod slowly. “Okay.”
He pulls me into his arms, wrapping me in a tight hug. It’s then that I realize just how worried about me he is. I hug him back. I need this embrace just as much as he does.
He pulls back, his green eyes piercing into me. “I promise you, I will not let you die.”
I believe him.
Whoever is after me messed with the wrong girl. I’ve got Hunter Duran protecting me.
He pulls me into his arms one last time, giving me a bone crushing hug.
“Let’s get you home,” he says, as he pulls back.
Home.
I like the sound of that.
Wednesday, October 14
Ancient Greece.
I adjust the gold, floral crown on my head, feeling a little ridiculous.
Why did I let Harper talk me into participating in Spirit Week?
Today is Ancient Greece day. Whoever came up with the Spirit Week themes should be fired because this is so stupid.
I have on a flowly white dress with a gold belt around my waist. The dress is way too formal to ever wear to school. It’s Wednesday for goodness sake. Nobody should be this dressed up on a Wednesday.
I put on the gold sandals that Harper let me borrow. It ties the whole ridiculous outfit together.
Hunter knocks on my door. “Trouble, it’s about time to leave.”
Meaning it’s definitely too late to change my outfit.
Hunter is so going to laugh at me.
I stomp over to my door and sling it open. I cross my arms over my chest and wait for the teasing to begin. When Hunter doesn’t say anything, I look up.
Hunter has a pop tart halfway to his mouth, but he has frozen, his mouth open and his eyes wide. I watch his Adam’s apple bob as he looks at me.
“Griffin was right. You do look like Aphrodite.”
I groan, resisting the urge to hide my face. “You werelistening?”
He shrugs, not looking ashamed at all.
“I look ridiculous.” I frown, looking down at my way-too-formal dress.
“You look gorgeous,” Hunter says.
I suck in a sharp breath.
His words sound so sincere. I almost believe him.
“Are you going to send a picture to Griffin?”
I shake my head. “I look stupid. I don’t want him to see this.”
