Chapter 86 - EIGHTY SIX
- HAZEL -
"Keep this. Don’t lose it next time." Killian slides something over my neck in front of me, while holding me to him. We’re in the mall.
My body feels ripened with good sex and I can’t help but grin all through the walk. I hold it in my hand, wondering what it is.
My mouth drops. It’s my necklace. The one I wore to the congratulations dinner where I drowned. He had it the whole time.
Wait, he was the mystery gifter! Oh my God. Unless he happened to find it in the pool.
"I wanted to return it sooner but didn’t have the chance to."
I bite my lower lip. Is it weird that this makes me love him even more? "Thank you." I say, looking up at him.
Killian spares me a gaze. "Don’t pretend. You didn’t even know it was gone." His tone is playful and a smile forms on his lips.
Yup. Confirmed. He’s the one who got it for me.
"Yes, fine jewelry is what I would’ve been thinking of in the depths of a pool." I shoot him a glare, sarcasm trailing off my voice. I might’ve had plenty of time to reflect on my belongings that I lost, but I doubt anything about that night was something I wanted to remember.
Also, despite breaking up with him, I’m still in contact with Kaiden. I wonder if it’s something Killian should know? It’s not a bad thing, right? Kaiden and I are just acquaintances.
