Difficult Parting
“Let go,” I repeated once again.
“I don't want to…” he replied.
I narrowed my eyes at him when we ended up entering into a staring competition as if to see which of us was the more stubborn one. His blue eyes looked as clear as the sky and also so bright. If there were any hints of fatigue or overwork, they were all gone now and I found myself feeling very relieved to see that he was feeling better. At the end, it was me who ended up breaking eye contact first. Bradon ended up laughing at my reaction, but he did loosen his arms from around my body to let me go.
Just when I wondered what I should say to him to excuse myself out of this room, my phone started ringing quite loudly. I would have ignored the call, had it not been a call from Desmond.
Why is the prince calling, and so early in the morning?
