Chapter 69

-Grayson’s POV-

“The grand gesture under the rain worked, didn’t it?” Isabella’s voice cut through the silence, filled with that triumphant tone that was too annoying for my liking. Not like I actually ever liked anything She was leaning against the counter, casually munching on her chips, each loud crunch a reminder of how much she’d enjoyed orchestrating this entire situation

I exhaled, glancing toward the hallway. I was counting down the seconds until Ava came out so we could leave Sure, Isabella’s advice had been helpful, but she’d been insistent on this whole “romantic under–the–rain” idea. When she called and told me to stand outside in the drizzle, I thought she’d lost it There was no way I was going to stand there and get soaked like some love–struck fool. Yet twenty minutes later, there I was–drenched, humoring Isabella’s ridiculous suggestion. And as cliché as it felt, it worked. The moment 1 saw va’s silhouette at the door, everything faded into the background.

“Oh, so that’s how it’s going to be?” she said, feigning offense. “I help you fix things with her, and you just ignore me!”

I shot her a glare. “Do you have to chew so loudly? And talk with your mouth full?”

She smirked, her eyes glinting with mischief. “No, I don’t. But I noticed it bothers you, so I’m definitely not stopping.

I narrowed my eyes, deadpan. “You’re lucky Ava likes you.”

“Oh, please. You like me too, and you know it.”

I scoffed, choosing to ignore her. The longer I stayed quiet, the sooner she’d give up and leave me in peace.

“Fine,” she sighed, finally relenting. “Don’t talk to me, then.”

Seconds ticked by in a rare silence as I checked my phone, looking for any distraction. Then she broke it with, “Oh, did you hear Lilian felt her wolf?”

The words caught me off guard. “What? When?”

She arched a brow, a sly smile playing on her lips. “Thought we weren’t speaking?”

A thought suddenly registered and I smiled, “Fine. How is Rickon?”
