Chapter 34

• My eyes darted around as we walked and when I was certain no one was around, I quickened my steps till I was in front of him. Then, I turned to face him with a raised brow. “What was that reminder about?” I inquired, not trying to tone down the annoyance in my voice. The double meaning behind his words had left me speechless. If it hadn't been for the act we were putting on, I would have challenged him right there and then.
• “It is what it is. A reminder,” he stated, his voice calm and face unreadable.
• My patience completely ran out. “Well, Curtis. Thank you for the reminder. I’ll be sure to write it down so I never forget,” I said through gritted teeth.
