The dinner went on for a long time. The conversation and laughter lasted for a few hours. After that, they decided to either go for a walk or retire early. Since I had enough sleep, I wanted to go for a walk and probably explore the beach.
Nile was taking up calls as I waited for him at the shore. I felt Colton’s presence approaching me from behind.
“You okay?” I immediately felt panicked at his question and wondered if he knew. He stood beside me with hands inside the pocket of his pants. He then continued speaking. “Rose… I’m sorry if you think I betrayed you. I told him because I was worried. He’s the only one who could actually help. I hope you understand that my intention is only for your own good.”
