“What did Loki say about the person that ran you off the road?” he asked.
Well. Hell.
She hadn’t expected him to ask her that. And how did she answer?
“I didn’t tell him that part.”
A scowl filled his face. “Excuse me?”
Crap. Panic flooded her. She hated disappointing people.
“I didn’t tell him all of the details. I just told him that I was blinded by someone’s headlights, which is technically true.”
“Why wouldn’t you tell him the full truth?”
“I didn’t see much point.”
“Not much point? He lives with you. What if something happens again?” he demanded.
Oh God.
“You think it’s going to happen again?” she whispered, dread and fear filling her.
Fuck.
Why had he said that? Or at least, why hadn’t he said it more gently?
“No. I don’t think that. Fuck, baby. I didn’t mean to scare you. I just meant that this person might be someone who drives that road regularly.”
“Oh God, I didn’t think of that.”
He placed his hands on her shoulders, massaging the tight muscles. “Hey, calm down. I don’t think that’s a strong possibility. But I just think it’s better if your roommate and friend knows the full truth.”
“He’ll just worry.”
Maybe he should.
But he didn’t say that. She was already pale and trembling.
“You should tell him, baby. And I need to talk to him about the security light.”
“What? Why? I thought it was working now.”
“Yeah, it is because I replaced the bulb. But it was smashed when I checked on it.”
“Oh. You bought a new one? I owe you some money. And for the groceries too. I’m sorry I forgot about that.” She gave him a guilty look.
Oh, hell no. That wasn’t happening.
“Like hell you’re going to offer me money,” he growled.
Her eyes widened, but before she could speak, she was lifted in the air and placed behind a large body.
A large, angry body.
“What the hell did you say to her?” Loki demanded.
Remy was aware that people were starting to look at them. Not that he cared about what people thought. However, he was certain that no one here would be on his side of the equation.
