Tessa/Jessica’s pov;
I thought of several things at once. I didn’t know what weapon he could be carrying, although I was certain that he wouldn’t hurt me.
He wanted me.
“Oh?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “What do you mean?” I asked, feigning ignorance.
He chuckled. “You don’t trust me yet, you’re asking all these questions to find out if I’m lying to you.”
I shrugged, letting out a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding.
“Was I that obvious?”
He smiled softly. “I know you enough.”
“You can’t blame me for that. You can’t just start acting remorseful and expect me to believe you immediately. It doesn’t work that way, Adrian.”
He said nothing in response and just nodded. He started walking before I followed.
I slowed as I made another carving on the tree bark.
Zane would know to
