Sighing, I strum my fingers on the steering wheel as I drive towards Dark Hollow Falls Pack territory, mulling over everything. Handsome…
Why does that feel off? Then there is the way she texts saying it’s too loud for her to talk… Zaia would move away, she’s not that person who would have an issue with that. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but I don’t think that was Zaia on the other side of the phone.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense, but again, it could have been her simply behaving that way, knowing it would get to me. Both are possibilities.
Maybe I’m looking too much into it, but the Zaia I know would have had a few choice words to say to me. She isn’t the type to let others handle her problems.
The biggest red flag is the fact she didn’t even seem a little worried about Valerie. I would presume she would check up on her for peace of mind and if it was a lie, she would then let loose on me.
Anger makes a person blind too, so I can’t rule that out either. I’ll find a way to get through to you, Zaia. I really will…
My phone rings and I run my fingers through my hair, glancing at the LCD screen in the car. Unknown caller?
Zaia? My heart quickens a little; maybe she did end up being worried about Valerie..
