บท 85: Suspicion

Alyssa narrowed her eyes slightly, wondering if he was messing with her or being serious. Maybe she just wasn't in the joking mood right now. She tightened her ponytail and merely nodded.

"I'll keep an eye out," she replied evenly.

"I'll let you get to it," Elias said before leaning forward and kissing her cheek. He then turned and walked down the path into the overlapping shadows that she just ran out of.

Alyssa let out a sigh and started walking down the path. She still felt uneasy. He was being totally weird, and why wouldn't he have mentioned a business meeting earlier?

He talked about his classes with her. It just seemed like something he would've told her. Instead, he just said that he was busy.

She shook her head, willing herself not to overthink. She was so close to him that she sensed the slightest off behavior from him.
