I couldn’t believe Elijah had gotten so close to Bianca. He had been close enough to smell her. To touch her.
Anger boiled inside of me. Thoughts of Elijah’s face smacking the concrete taunted me. He would pay for this.
Bianca was still sitting on my lap with her head resting on my shoulder. I ran my fingers through her hair, trying to keep calm. It was taking everything inside of me not to explode right now.
“Are you all right?” Bianca asked, placing her hand on my cheek.
“Yeah.” I forced a smile. “I just have a lot on my mind right now. That’s all.”
“Like what?” She asked, curiously. “It’s not about that Elijah guy, is it? I told you it was nothing. Just some creep.”
“No. I know. It’s not that,” I replied easily. “It’s just work stuff.”
“You don’t have to run off tonight, do you?” She asked, with a tilted head.
“I’m not sure yet,” I replied, thinking only of the pain I was going to cause Elijah.
