Nyelle
My heartbeat crashed against my ribs so hard it almost hurt.
How could I have been this careless?
Of all the stupid mistakes I could have made tonight, this had to be the worst one.
For a second, I simply stared at the burner phone in horror while my mind raced in a hundred different directions at once.
Then panic took over. I yanked the duvet up against my chest and scrambled upright so quickly that I nearly tripped over myself before snatching the phone from his hand.
The movement was so sudden that Vincent actually blinked.
His eyes narrowed immediately afterward and that look alone told me he noticed my reaction. The one time I needed to act normal, I practically announced my guilt with a giant flashing sign above my head.
My pulse hammered louder.
Think, Nyelle. Think!
