“No need!” After the incident with Macy, my impression of his character had fallen significantly. I had no interest in hearing his side of the story. All I knew was that he shared half the blame for Macy’s incident.

His brows furrowed as he followed me. “It’s raining right now. I’m free and I can drive you.”

I stopped and turned around to look at him. “Do you want something?”
