Aryanna's POV:
Pierre wrapped his hand around my shoulder, pulling me closer.
×You are tense.×
I rolled my eyes and shrugged his hand off, folding my arms.
×Clearly.×
He pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes, sliding his phone into his front pocket.
×Did something happen in the kitchen? I noticed you froze up.×
Pierre might not hear well without hearing aids and be unable to speak, but he picked up on more things better than most people I knew.
×How did you lose your hearing?×
He blinked and sighed, resting back against the chair.
×I am not completely deaf, you know. If I use my hearing aids, I can hear almost like any normal person. But I was cursed.×
My jaw dropped and I turned to him.
He laughed and rubbed his palms on his thighs.
×Yeah. I used to live with my grandparents
