Nina stared at his face, her lips parting slightly.
Then she blinked.
What was she doing?
He wasn't the only person in the entire Vermont Pack with a grey wolf.
Why had she immediately thought it was him?
He didn't even know where she was.
Her lashes fluttered, and she looked away.
"I'm sorry," she said quickly. "I must have been mistaken."
She turned before he could answer.
"I'll leave you to it."
The door clicked shut behind her.
Rodrigo stood silently, staring at the space where she had been.
His jaw ticked once.
Nina didn't stop walking until she reached her quarters.
She shut the door behind her and leaned against it, the wood solid and cool against her back.
Her eyes closed slowly.
She drew in a long breath.
What are you doing, Annalise?
Her hands clenched at her sides.
She stood there until the noise in her chest settled into something she could manage.
The knock came before she was ready.
Nina opened the door.
