Friday night.
Toxicwrath was almost ready.
I would be too.
Chapter 19
Hannah
Mason was right on time.
I had heard his car pull up five minutes ago but he hadn’t gotten out yet.
I peeked out from behind the curtain to see him sitting in the driver’s seat.
What was he doing?
I thought about going out to greet him but decided against it.
I’d wait.
I was good at that.
After Kyle’s strange visit I had spent the remaining hours until Mason arrived prepping the hash script. Testing and retesting in the sandbox. Finalizing the SQL injection, making sure it was perfect.
I felt prepared.
Kyle and his attempted kiss wouldn’t mess with my head.
I was good at blocking out most external distractions.
But Mason was coming over.
And he had made focusing difficult.
I had tried texting him earlier. Nothing much, just a simpleCan’t wait to see you.
He had never responded.
That was unlike him. He usually texted me back, even if it was hours later.
And now here he was, sitting in his car outside my house, not making any move to come to the door.
Finally, after another couple of minutes, he got out. I backed away from the window, the curtain falling back into place. I checked my reflection in the hallway mirror as I waited for the doorbell. My hair was smooth. My makeup subtle.
I looked good, if a little on the tired side, which could easily be explained by my “hectic work schedule.”
It felt like an eternity until Mason rang the doorbell. He didn’t seem to be in a hurry tonight.
I felt a pang of alarm, which I immediately quashed.
