Nina stared at his face, her lips parting. Then she blinked.
What was she doing?
He wasn't the only one in the entire Vermont Pack with a grey wolf.
Why did she think it was him?
He didn't even know where she was...
Her lashes fluttered and she looked away.
"I'm sorry, I must have been mistaken." She turned around quickly. "I'll leave you to it." The door clicked shut behind her.
Rodrigo stood silently, staring at the space where she had been. His jaw ticked once.
Nina walked out and didn't stop until she was inside her own quarters with the door shut behind her. She leaned against it, the wood solid and cool at her back.
Her eyes closed slowly. She drew a long breath.
What are you doing, Annalise?
Her hands clenched by her sides. She stood there until the noise in her chest quieted into something she could manage.
The knock came before she was ready.
She opened the door.
