“I’ve known for a while now,” she continued nonchalantly, brushing invisible lint from her sleeve. “Lucky for you, I haven’t said a word. Yet.” She leaned closer, her breath warm and poisonous against my cheek. “But I don’t make promises, Noah. How quiet I stay depends entirely on… your behavior.”
That snapped me out of my paralysis.
A smirk, slow and calculated, curled at the side of my lips. The kind that always pissed people off.
“Hmm,”
