Easter~
I sat there, staring at Jacob with tears drying stickily on my cheeks, his words echoing in my head like a haunting lullaby.
"Okay," I whispered, my voice trembling. "I'll… I'll give you a chance to explain yourself."
A wave of relief washed over his face, softening his sharp features. His shoulders relaxed a little, though his eyes still swam with shadows.
"But," I added firmly, leaning back in my chair, "since you don't want to tell me anything here… I'll go back home with you."
His eyes widened slightly, surprise flickering across his handsome face.
"There's no point staying at the hotel anymore," I continued, folding my arms tightly against my chest as if to hold myself together. "You found a way to track me down, so clearly, it's not as safe as I thought it would be."
"Easter, I—"
