How did you know?

Shera paused in her tracks as she took in what he had just said. Fourteen and Anna wanted to murder her? 

"How did you know?" She asked. If even she didn't detect that they had such an intention, how on earth would he, an outsider, manage to find out? 

Leo took her hand. "Come with me." 

She still didn't believe a word he was saying, but since it was the only way to find out whether he was telling the truth, she followed her to take a seat in the living room. 

"This was meant for you." He held out the juice in his hand.

"I'm not thirsty." 

He placed it on the table and brought over his laptop. He sat next to her on the couch and then looked into her eyes. 

"I'm waiting." She reminded impatiently. 

"This will hurt your feelings…" He looked troubled. 

She sighed. What on earth could hurt her feelings? There was nothing that would be new to her. "Just play whatever it is. I can handle it."
