Bab 722: Dora

"Excuse me, please," she said, her voice polite but distant, as if she were addressing a stranger.

If anyone else had said those words, Kael would have stepped aside without a second thought. But not for her. Especially not when she couldn't even be bothered to look him in the eye, treating him as though he were just another obstacle in her path.

"No," he replied firmly, his voice low and unyielding. "I won't excuse you."

Her head snapping up then, to meet his gaze, her eyes blazing with sudden anger. Perfect. A surge of satisfaction coursed through him. Now she was finally looking at him.

"Dora," he said," We need to talk."

"No." She said and then tried to step around him but he simply moved in tandem, not letting her take a step out. She could try as much as she wanted but he'd been waiting here for the last two hours, so there was no way he was going to let her get away so easily.
