The drive was cold. Tense. Nerve wracking Not because of the silence but because of hier

Kester sat beside me, a storm barely contained beneath his kin. His grip on the steering wheel was right, knuckles pale against the leather, and though his gaze stayed fixed on the road, the tension in his jew and the rigid line of his shoulders told me exactly how pissed he wil

My fingers twitched all the way home.

Kester, in his usual character, didn't say a word to me throughout. He was just seething beside me, driving a speed that almost made me say my last prayer.

The next second, he shoved the door wide open, making me stumble back. My heel caught on the edge of the rug. but I was quick enough to steady myself.

I didn't look at him.

I couldn't.

I was furious-furious that he had ignored me for two days, furious that he had acted like I didn't exist, and now, suddenly, he had the audacity to storm into my space like I owed him something?

Fine. If he wanted to play this game, I'd play too.

I yanked off my heels and tossed them to the floor with more force than
