Chapter 91

The ride to the lake was slow and I could not help but feel the tension in the air, in the small cabin space of the car with just me and Callahan.

I had blurted out my fascination with him quite stupidly, unabashedly, if I might add, and I could not even blame having done that under the influence of alcohol.

If he simply played with my emotions and left me broken, it would leave me with nowhere to go.

In the next few minutes, we reached the lake.

Callahan turned the ignition off and finally turned to look at me. His golden eyes were a stark contrast to the dark shade all around me.

Those eyes looked even more enticing in the serene atmosphere around us.
