My jaw tenses angrily. I want to kiss him and smack him all at the same time. “Then you’re blind,” I mutter, turning away from him. I can’t bear to look at his beautiful face anymore.
For the next few hours I stride ahead, doing my best to ignore the sound of Lucas’ footsteps behind me, and the magnetic feeling of the bond between us.
