Chapter 30
Tori's POV
I stood there, watching the both of them carefully as their eyes met for a brief moment. She broke eye contact first, my eyes slowly moved to her side and it was quite obvious.
I wasn't sure if the both of them had talked before.
It felt like there were words sitting behind it that neither of them wanted to say out loud.
Kael's expression had already hardened, his jaw tightening in that familiar way that told me he was irritated.
And Laura? She looked almost too calm, but it wasn't especially with the way her hands are clenched to the hem of her shirt.
"What secret are you two keeping from each other?" I asked, my voice cutting through the tension before it could grow into something heavier.
"Uhm—" I started, but before I could even form a proper sentence.
"It's just a friendship thing," Laura cut in quickly, her tone light, almost too quick to be natural. "Something we wouldn't want to share."
