Chapter 229

LEAH

One moment Aaron is loving and open with me, the next I see him totally shut down when he gets a phone call from James.

It’s like watching him become a completely different person.

He becomes cold and indifferent, just like he used to be with me.

It feels like getting a bucket of ice water dumped over me.

I don’t understand what could have caused such a reaction from him.

But it must be something bad.

Something really bad.

“Aaron, what’s wrong?” I ask reaching for him, but he evades my touch.

“I have to go,” he replies, slipping his cell phone away and avoiding my gaze.

“Aaron, wait” I say, trying to keep the confusion and desperation out of my voice as he starts to walk away from me.

“Go find James and Ryker, they’ll make sure you get home safe,” he tells me, tossing the words carelessly over his shoulder, before disappearing into the shadows
