"I think your Mum might know more about this than she is letting on." Knox's eyes are so piercing that they hold mine longer than usual.

"What do you mean?" I blink deeply breaking that intense gaze of his.

"We need to leave...now." He reaches for my weekend bag placing it on the bed, moving towards the wardrobe and already starts to pick out my clothes.

Weren't we going to at least discuss this, talk this through...like two reasonable adults.

Apparently not! He hastily dumps my clothes in the bag, not even removing the hangers.

"What now? We can't leave...we've just got here." I protest reaching for my bag and removing the clothes. He doesn't stop, he just keeps packing. He's not even listening to me as he continues to place my clothes into the holdall before moving on to his own. "Knox..." I sigh out, he needed to stay calm.

"We are leaving now, Alora and Ezra can send anything that we have missed." He picks up both bags and reaches out to grip my wrist as he pulls me up onto my feet.

I yank my hand away from him...I had items in the bathroom I needed to pack...but that's not the point.

Why did we have to leave right now. Why couldn't we stay and discuss this.
