Josephine,
Tahimik akong bumaba sa hagdan, pilit pinapakalma ang sarili kahit parang aatakihin na ako sa puso sa sobrang lakas ng kaba sa dibdib ko. My palms were sweating, and my pulse was racing like hell. But to make things worse, ramdam kong lahat ng mata sa sala, tutok na tutok sa akin.
Agad na kumunot ang noo ni Gabriel at Kaiden nang matandaan nila ako.
"Wait, wait...don’t tell me you’re the same girl from the CR. The one—" Naputol ang pagsasalita ni Kaiden dahil agad siyang tiningnan ng masama ni Killian. Killian didn’t say anything, but his eyes… damn, those eyes. Parang sinasabi niya, ‘Say one more word and I’ll make sure you regret it.’
Kaiden cleared his throat at biglang umiwas ng tingin. “Nevermind.”
Gabriel, on the other hand, didn’t even bother hiding his curiosity.
