In the next moment, her back bumped into something solid—a muscular chest. The faint fragrance of cedar dominated her senses, leaving her in a momentary daze.
Ella tilted her head to the side and her eyes locked in with a pair of dark eyes that looked at her intently.
She had not expected Adrian to tag along when she said she was going out for work.
And the entire way, Ella was not sure how to talk to him. Hence the awkward atmosphere between them.
Adrian did not bring up that topic again but Ella could not help but wonder if he was waiting for an honest answer from her.
What was she hiding from him? That she was miraculously reborn after dying once.
Not to mention the question of whether he would ever trust something so bizarre, Ella did not think she was capable of sharing this secret with anyone in this life.
So, she simply remained quiet and the silence between them became stifling until one would find it hard to breathe. As it is now.
