Frightful Beginnings
Page 5
“I’m off,” I say after a pause.
“There’s a party...” he starts. “Very casual,” he continues quickly when I start to shake my head automatically. “Just a few friends. You could meet people.”
“How do you know I don’t already know people,” I say snottily.
“You can meet more people,” he amends, although the look on his face says he knows I’m completely full of shit. Bethany is the closest I could call a friend, and she’s old enough to be my mother...if we’re counting the age I look and not the age I actually am.
“Pick you up at seven?” he asks.
We stare at each other for a long moment before I finally open the limo door and step back into the rain.
“Okay,” is all I say before I walk towards my apartment.
I feel his eyes following me all the way to my door.
