Julien tucked away her shovel in disappointment. The footprint appeared to have been deliberately obscured, it certainly wasn’t Zenith’s.
Exhausted from digging, Julien felt like she could just tie Zenith up and give him a proper grilling!
She frowned, placing the shovel back into the toolbox.
Just as she turned to leave, she noticed Hayden had silently appeared behind her. The only man capable of sneaking up on her like that.
She had no doubt that Raines had betrayed her, so…
“How did you know I’m here?” she asked, unflustered by being caught red-handed.
Hayden glanced at the toolbox she was holding, “I came to take you to the barber shop.”
Clearly, he hadn’t forgotten her previous idea to shave her head.
Julien smirked at him, “I can handle my own hair. I appreciate your concern, but there’s no need for that. Thanks!”
“Who do you think made this footprint?” he pointed at the few footprints by the wetlands of the lake. Since he had noticed, Julien saw no need to hide anything from him, so she replied, “The man in black who tried to kidnap Emily.”
“I mean, who do you think made this footprint?” he repeated patiently.
“Zenith,” she answered honestly.
It was a late night by the lake, under the warm glow of a single street lamp. Julien and Hayden stood by the lake, their shadows elongated by the light. It was a cold winter night. A layer of mist rose from the lake, making it look mysterious and eerie.
Julien, lightly dressed, stood straight-backed.
As they stood stiffly by the lake, he suddenly asked, “Are you cold?”
Was he… caring for her? Julien thought it must be.
“I’m not cold,” she replied firmly, so quickly it seemed she hadn’t given it any thought.
Even though she claimed she wasn’t cold, he removed his black coat and draped it over her shoulders.
“You can be honest with me,” he said, gently pressing her shoulder. Her eyes were even brighter in the dark.
She replied without any emotion, “I am being honest.”
