Chapter 267

I rinse off the final plate and hand it to him, not waiting for a reply. My chest feels tight. I walk away, back to the bedroom with heavy steps and heavier thoughts. The towel I'd left folded earlier was still on the bed. I grab it, intending to take a shower, to wash away the swirling storm inside my head.

I am nearly at the bathroom door when I hear his footsteps behind me. Then he is in front of me, cutting off my path.

"Alec, I'm serious."

"So am I."

My fingers curl into fists. "If you don't move willingly, I'll make you move, and you won't like it when I do."

"Do what you need to do, Sadie," he says quietly, "but I'm not moving until you let me explain."

I move to push past him, but he catches me-gently-and pulls me against him, wrapping his arms around me from behind. Caging me.

"Do you know why I never brought Lola here?" he asks softly near my ear.
