Kara’s POV
I leaned closer to Adrian. I’d been surprised that he accepted my offer to come in for a drink. I was pretty sure he was just checking to make sure I drank a glass of water and didn’t faint, at first, but then we’d started talking. It felt surprisingly easy and I hadn’t noticed the time passing.
Suddenly we’d stopped talking.
I could feel electricity between us, and myself starting to get wet.
We were moving slowly closer to each other when there was a knock at the door.
We both jumped and stepped back, the tense moment shattered.
I sighed, let down.
And surprised. I hadn’t thought I wanted Adrian.
I went to the door and opened it: Hunter.
Alone, which was surprising. I couldn’t believe he’d left Maya at the ball alone.
He must have been concerned about me.
