Chapter thirty.

Ethan.

I paused to catch my breath in front of the door once it clicked shut behind me and to listen for any reaction from Aurora, when I didn't get any, I exhaled deeply and turned to Sam to see him narrowing his eyes down at me.

I wanted to believe I was a bit close to achieving something with Aurora. Even though we had a love-hate relationship. Even though we had a fight last night. Had Sam not stepped in, I would have…

“You said you weren't going to do it. Maybe that's why I had this feeling that you were lying.”

“Where did you say she is?” I asked to deflate the question. The least thing I needed was Sam telling me how wrong it would be to have anything with Aurora. That I already knew, but no matter how wrong it was, I still wanted it.

Sam cut me a sharp look before lowering his eyes, “by your car at the gate.”

“And she didn't state the reason for wanting to see me?” I asked as I began walking to the gate.

“Nah-uh.” Sam took to my side, "Is she the one?” He asked after a while.
