Chapter 49: What Did He Tell You?

“Wanna talk about it?” I asked, moving my fingers up her neck to her ponytail, giving it a playful tug. My eyes never leaving hers in the mirror.

“Wanna talk about what?” She asked, arching a brow at me, trying to call my bluff. I loved her sassiness but now wasn’t the time.
