Chapter 6

Thalia looked up at him, puzzled. “What?”

Drake thought she might still be upset, hesitant to give him the gift. Fine, he could make the first move.

His voice softened. “Look, I was harsh at the store. Don’t be mad.”

There. That should do it.

Thalia sighed, meeting his eyes. “I’m not mad.”

“Right.” Drake scoffed. “Sure you’re not.”

“Think what you want.”

Drake’s patience snapped. “Jesus, Thalia. I’m trying to apologize here. What more do you want?”

Still folding clothes, Thalia replied evenly, “I don’t need your apology.”

Drake stared at her for a long moment.

Finally, he asked awkwardly, “So… where’s the gift?”

“What gift?”

“Mason said he saw you buying a watch.” Drake shifted. “Isn’t that your way of apologizing? I’m here

now, so…”

Thalia started to explain it wasn’t for him, but Drake continued, “Come on, stop playing games.”

Thalia laughed, surprising him.

“What’s so funny?”

“You are,” Thalia met his gaze. “Yes, I bought a watch. No, it’s not for you. And I haven’t done anything

wrong, so why would I apologize?”

“Not for me? Who’s it for then?” Drake’s fists clenched unconsciously.

“None of your business,” Thalia replied coolly.
