Chapter 76: Uninvited {2}
Tom gave me this annoyed look and I knew he definitely hated me right now, go figure! And I was very certain it wasn’t just because I was given the spell book OR back here but because of the handsome werelion beside me, once again I have a feeling that Dace wasn’t supposed to be here.
"The book, Tom," Owen said, pinching the bridge of his nose.
After hearing everything, Dace didn’t take it well, he didn’t smile or say anything to me, I don’t know why but it feels like he was blaming himself for not paying more attention to the book at that time, but I was fine, I wasn’t jinxed.
"Really Owen? Look I respect you and your family, but bringing one of them in here is out of question and law" he said with a hint of anger, we really have gotten on his nerves today, I knew from this very moment, approaching this very bookstore was a double NO for me.
"Look, Tom, I agree but..." he sighed. "We need his help to find whoever gave Emma that book, we could have an intruder and it could be dangerous for people in town"
I noticed his eyes softened at Owen’s words, at least that was able to get through to him, maybe he would finally give in to our request.
His eyes darted to Dace who didn’t break his gaze with him. I noticed his throat moved and I was forced to divert my gaze to Dace and... I can see why... Dace was definitely not in a good mood, his silence was somewhat a blessing right now, and I felt super hot like I was standing next to a flame. The heat radiating off him was abnormal, I was forced to gulp myself.
"Fine" Tom finally spoke, reaching below his desk, not breaking gaze with us, he brought out the book and stretched his hand out.
Dace stepped forward and took it.
"Let’s hope you find out whoever was in my shop," Tom said.
"We will," Owen said to him.
