The only thing I could hear was the rapid thumping of my heart, reminding me of what Andrew had just said. He had been waiting for me.
The feeling of surprise was fleeting.
I mean, guess what? This steel-hearted girl has been single for twenty-six years for a reason!
As we stepped outside, Andrew's profile was illuminated by the dim streetlights, and it suddenly hit me—how does he know exactly where to find me? How has he managed to wait outside for me all afternoon without me noticing?
I knew it!
He is definitely a creep!
I pressed myself against the car door, lips pursed, trying to figure out what Andrew was really up to.
The last time he gave me a telescope, and now this?
Just as I was about to make a run for it, Andrew grabbed my wrist.
"Where do you think you're going? Am I that scary?" he asked, his tone teasing.
It was ten-thirty at night, and the only light came from the street lamps, casting eerie shadows on the empty path.
Seriously, do you think I shouldn't be scared?
"N... no, not at all! I'm just heading up now, see you later!"
In a bid for self-preservation, my legs took off before my brain could catch up, bolting into the building without even looking back.
