You know exactly who this is.
I could almost see the glower of his face through my phone as I read his words.
Me
How did you get my number?
Did he come right out and ask Raven for it?
River
I looked up the information you filled out in my shop.
I blinked, shocked that he was admitting it.
Me
That is a blatant invasion of privacy.
River
Don’t care.
My chest clutched, and I didn’t know if it was out of fear or exhilaration.
But that’s what happened when you’d hardly talked to a soul in close to five years. So isolated that you’re desperate for any connection.
River
Not going to turn a blind eye when I know something’s up with you.
My throat constricted, and I stood there in the middle of my living room staring down at my phone. Having no clue what to say.
I knew what Ishouldsay.
I should end this. Put him off. Block him.
Forget that stupid kiss had ever happened.
Still, my imprudent fingers were moving across the screen.
Me
You don’t know me.
River
Nope, but that doesn’t mean I can’t see what’s written all over you. As defined as the words I forever marked on your skin.
Me
Why do you care?
So foolish, letting that question free, but I’d sent it to him before I could reel it back. Not sure if it was in defense or a plea.
Begging for a breaking.
