Chapter 33: Strange woman’s scent on him
Ash’s pov ;
"Hey, Ash! Wait up!" Ryder called after me as I wandered off. I was bored. We’ve been in this shopping mall for hours and nothing was interesting to do.
And Ryder has yet to pick a suit. It’s ridiculous. How can anyone spend so much time choosing an outfit?
When he finally caught up to me, he shot me a disapproving look. "You know, you’re the reason why we’re not done yet. If you just waited like I told you to, we could’ve been home by now."
I rolled my eyes, ignoring his complaint. "Ryder...I’m booored."
He groaned. "But, we’re almost done. And Elijah’s gonna be here any minute now. Just wait a little longer, please."
Honestly, I don’t know how to face Elijah after last night so I was a little hesitant to meet him.
Even though he looked worried for me, he still left without a word in the morning going back to his usual cold self.
What a mean person. How could he be so caring one moment and so distant the next? I thought he’d go back to his moody self, and he didn’t disappoint.
But last night...last night was different. He looked so worried, almost tender. I couldn’t get his face out of my head.
Was that the real Elijah? Or was it just a fleeting moment of decency? His fluctuating behavior was driving me crazy. One minute he’s saving me, holding me like I’m the most precious thing in the world, and the next, he’s gone without a trace. It’s like he’s two different people.
