“So does hypothermia.”
I did not know why he’d said that until he motioned to my shivering body. I hadn’t realized how cold I was until he pointed it out. My arms tightened around my waist. He sighed as if my presence was a major inconvenience to his life and slid his leather jacket down his arms before approaching me.
“Here.” he said, extending the jacket at arm’s length.
I raised my brows.

Asher smirked.
“No, but I’m going to do it, anyway.”
I watched in disbelief as he strutted inside, hands tucked into his pockets, and whistled a tune. As if he didn’t have a care in the world.

What a start to a Monday. A call to the guidance counsellor. I sat in the uncomfortable plastic chairs waiting to be called in. I tapped my foot as I watched the clock on the wall move agonizingly slowly. Each movement of the arms was like a jolt to my patience.
“Asher.”
I looked into the familiar caramel eyes, enlarged by thick-rimmed glasses. I’d been here more than I’d like to admit.
“Ms. Kendall.” I said in greeting as I waltzed into her office. “What have I done this time?”
Normally, she would take delight in my quips, but she seemed tense.
