"Your mother was in White Cliffs?" Damien's dark eyes lock on mine and I try to ignore how much I wanted him to kiss me. To feel his lips on mine now. To lift me up on the counter behind me.

'Make the first move.' Dakota cheers me on

"It's not like I know anything more than that." I shake my head, ignoring Dakota and wondering if I should have mentioned it when they confirmed Neah was my cousin. But it wasn't something I had been thinking about. "I only know what I have already told you. She didn't want me. And other than Dad telling me where they met, he never spoke about her. No matter how much I asked."

I sigh and lower my gaze. "Sometimes, I wish I could speak to him, just for a chance to get a tiny bit more information. Does that make sense?" "You should have said something?"

“I didn't think it was important." I run my thumb across my finger tips, I'm certain I had felt something when my hand brushed his. A spark, some kind of heat snaking up my hand, it had taken my breath away but he hadn't said anything. So I kept my mouth shut.

'It's your chance.' Dakota mutters

'He is still hung up on Raven. And I don't even know what I felt. It's not like I can smell him.'

"Was that where your mother lived?" Damien interrupts my conversation with Dakota.

I shrug my shoulders, feeling a strange fluttering in my chest. There was just something about the way he looked at me. Not like I was a bad person and not like I was just around. Like he could see me for me.
