"What was that about?" I ask, confused.
She sighs. "Confusion, denial. Take your pick. An issue for another day."
Yeah, we’ll definitely be discussing that soon. But first, we save Wells and get through her ascension.
I take her hand, carrying her shoes in my other hand, and lead her to the door. Arrow’s at a table with Liza and when I give him a nod, he excuses himself and joins us. We’re almost free when my father jumps out of nowhere.
“Leaving already?”
I glance at my watch. We’ve been here a few hours. That's sufficient time to keep up appearance.
“Yes sir. We have some plans tonight.” Silver winks, and my father’s cheeks turn red. I didn’t even know hecouldblush; I can’t stop my mouth from gaping. She’s just flustered my father with a completely innocent response. This girl is incredible.
“Oh, well then, by all means. I’ll see you again, my dear.”
I shiver at the promise in his words.Not if I can help it.
