My entire body went still.
Because I knew what he saw.
The handgun.
Hidden beneath my jacket.
But not hidden well enough.
The teasing disappeared from his expression.
Gone instantly.
"Since when?"
My stomach dropped.
I hadn't planned on this conversation.
Not today.
Maybe not ever.
"What?"
"The gun."
His voice had changed.
Quiet.
Dangerously quiet.
The kind of voice that made grown men nervous.
I looked away.
Mistake.
Because Beast noticed everything.
"Sadie."
The name sounded different.
Softer.
Concerned.
I hated that it affected me.
"Three years."
Silence.
The answer landed between us.
Heavy.
