章節 35: Girl who can't be compelled

Julie found Roman staring at her, and she cleared her throat and said, "I should get going. Thank you for answering my question and helping me back in there."

She turned around, ready to leave, when Roman stopped her.

"Wait." Turning back, she looked back at him. He questioned, "Did you ever speak to Mr. Evans before yesterday?"

"The night I heard the scream, he was there with Mr. Borrell in the forest. He told us girls to not speak about it to anyone. Yesterday you mentioned something and I wondered if it was the same…" her words trailed when Roman continued to stare right into her eyes, and somewhere she turned conscious. When the evening wind increased, the side fringes of her hair came to hover in front of her eyes, and she brought her hand up to tuck it behind her ear.
