CHAPTER 108

- KILLIAN -

Someone knocks on my door. I look up. I really hope it’s not one of the professors or school staff. Worst case scenario, it’s Lorelai.

“Come in.”

Someone pushes the door forward gently and a figure pops out from the side sheepishly. She finally lets her full body to my sight and I sigh with relief. Since when did she have to knock?

“Goodness, Hazel,” I stand up from my seat behind my desk to go to her. A hand stops me from closing in with a hug when I meet her from the door.

Hazel pushes the door close with her other hand and takes a step back from me. Her head is faced down to the floor. “Please, no.” She murmurs under her breath.

Ouch. That hurt. She doesn’t want me to touch her?

I put my hands behind me, locking my fingers together and take a step back. I’m trying to hide the hurt look reflecting off my face.
