That was her big question.
“Hey! Where are you going?” she shouted after him as she finally was within hearing range of the man.
Immediately, he turned around.
“I’m going back to the Blackhawk cabin. I’m on duty with another assignment. Stay safe,” he said. “Oh, and thanks for the gum and water,” he added.
What the hell?
That was the big brush-off if she’d ever seen one before. Someone was retreating, and fast.
“You’re going?” she asked.
He looked at her.
Then, he glanced back at her father, who was still standing where he’d been talking to his daughter. Yeah, he was watching them.
So, he was honest.
“Yes, I’m going,” he admitted. “It’s for the best,” he said.
She caught his glance shifting toward her father, and she couldn’t believe this.
Did he overhear what they’d said?
Well, shit.
What the hell?
Had she offended him?
All of that curiosity she’d had about him was slowly slipping away, as were the chances of getting to know him.
His green eyes watched her, and in them, she saw…disappointment.
Oh, boy.
So, she tried to fix this.
“Don’t listen to…”
He stopped her.
“Be safe, Chief,” he said, turning to walk away. He left her standing there, and it wasn’t easy.
Caspian had no choice.
Her father was right.
He wasn’t the kind of person she should get hooked up with, and definitely the last person to start anything with in life.
And that hurt.
To.
His.
Core.
