The Danger You Know
Page 42
He didn’t have to say another word for me to get the hint that I wasn’t wanted.
On unsteady legs, I fled the room, ran through the hall and downstairs, people chuckling and whispering as I passed them.
Bursting through the front door, I ran down the large half-circle steps. Reaching the bottom, I sucked in air to cool my burning lungs - fear, anger and embarrassment rolling through my veins to mix into a toxic poison.
Face flushed, I leaned against the half wall that lined the steps, a faint yellow glow beaming from an exterior gas lamp by the side of my body.
Tears pricked my eyes and I smacked them away while music filtered out from the windows of the house.
Hugging my body with trembling arms, I finally calmed down enough after several minutes to breathe evenly again.
There was no chance of me going in that party to look for Clayton. Choosing to wait outside for him instead, I glanced up at a window to see a familiar set of cold, dark eyes staring down at me.
