Kimi froze when Kolton's voice cut through the morning air behind her.
Her stomach dropped as she realized he had followed her off the bus.
What was he doing?
The previous night had left her rattled and confused. She had spent hours convincing herself that she had made her boundaries clear to Kolton, that he would finally leave her alone.
Yet here he was again. She couldn't deny the shock that had coursed through her when she spotted him on the public transit that morning. In all her months of taking that route, she had never once encountered Kolton, despite knowing his stop came before hers.
Today she had specifically chosen the bus over her family's offer of a private car. She craved a taste of her old anonymity, those precious moments when she could blend into the crowd without whispers following her every step.
But those days were gone. Everyone knew she was the Gamma's newly discovered daughter now, and the gossip never stopped.
