章 30: So Much For Secrets

Kieran's POV

I didn't see that coming. Even in a million years there was no way I would have predicted that. I mean, what were the odds? As I stood rooted to my spot, my mind whirled with a million and one thoughts. How was this even possible?

"Hey." Someone's fingers snapping in front of me was all it took to bring me back to earth. I blinked twice, just to realize I was still at my door, with a very unwanted visitor staring me down. "Can't you speak?"

Honestly, I couldn't. Up until now, we had no reason to talk. No reason at all, except the usual lunches and dinners, and even that was once a while. So why the hell was she standing at my door?

Like I hadn't just gone through the biggest shock of my life, Alice turned her head sideways, almost as if she was checking if we were alone or looking out for someone. After a couple more seconds of doing that to her hearts content, her hands wrapped around mine as she pushed me back.
