I exited the training facility and closed the door behind me, my conversation with my mother still replaying in my head. My grandmother experienced the same thing I was going through now—maybe another threat, another image, but it was still the same premise, and as I walked back to Leo's house, I found myself wishing she were still alive for me to confide in.
I rounded the corner to go up the patio stairs when I came into contact with another body.
“Leo," I said, surprised. “You're back."
“I am," he replied. He then looked behind me at the direction I had come from and smirked. “Were you training?"
Sh*t, I was probably covered in sweat. How attractive after the night we'd spent together. I wiped my brow quickly with the back of my sleeve.
“What if I was?" I tried to tease back.
