Chapter 39

• Slowly turning my head, I noticed Aiden standing by the door, almost leaning against it as he watched us. Did he hear Fauna's comment about him? I hoped not. Being on the other side and hearing just how much people don't like you is not very encouraging. I have been there several times, and each time, it hurts the same, more if it's a person you like. 
• Fauna straightened, mouth pulled together as she turned her head away and focused on the open window of the room. I tried not to sigh at that behaviour. Pups easily pick up on things which were why she must be annoyed at Aiden. What if he blamed me for that too? 
• Aiden cleared his throat, snapping me out of my thoughts. I tore my gaze from Fauna and met his stare. What did he want now? I thought to myself bitterly. He said enough already. Steeling my look, I didn't grace him with a response, only lifting my brow.
