Sana straightened in her chair, hands folded primly in her lap. She gathered her courage and met his gaze with painful earnestness.

She said, “I mean, Wesley, you don’t need to pity me just because we slept together. I don’t want you forcing yourself to like me out of some misplaced sense of responsibility.”

Getting closer, she realized it actually was him.

“I caught up with her.” Wesley pulled his gaze away from the street and paused before responding.

“Where’s Sana?” Jessica scanned the area, but there was no sign of her anywhere.

“She ran off.” Wesley’s voice was ice–cold.

Jessica fell silent. She wanted to ask what he meant by “ran off,” but seeing the dark expression on Wesley’s face, she decided Instead, she quickly changed the subject.
