I run a hand down my face.

“I’m just going to go.”

I turned back around and started walking away.

He catches my wrist.

I didn’t want to face him.

It was too humiliating.

He tugged me towards him.

A gloved hand tilts my head up by my chin.

He shakes his head again.

“I get it.”

He shakes his head.

“What?”

Nothing at all.

“Just let me go then.”

I yanked out of his hold before walking away.

I’ve somehow embarrassed myself twice in front of him in the same night.

What the hell Raven?

I keep walking.

Not being able to help myself, I do turn back to see where he was.

He was standing there.

Feet apart.

Hands crossed.

I stopped moving.

He just slowly shakes his head.

Oh, he didn’t want me to run?

Is that so?

Well, in that case.

I take another step.

He shakes his head again.

Another step.
