Evaline:
When I opened the door to my room, all I wanted was to collapse face-first into bed, pull the blanket over my head, and shut out the world.
So when I stepped in and saw Draven standing next to balcony door, I stopped cold and blinked.
Once.
Twice.
Still there.
Tall, sharp-edged, wearing a red silk shirt paired with black pants, and looking just as handsome as always. His dark green eyes were watching me like I was a storm he wasn't afraid to stand in.
I opened my mouth, but he beat me to it.
"You weren't answering my messages."
I dropped my bag on the floor with a little more force than necessary. "That wasn't an accident."
He took a small, slow step toward me. "So you are ignoring me now?"
"Yes," I snapped. "And I would like to keep doing that, so if you don't mind-"
"I do mind," he cut in while stepping between me and the bedroom door. "That's why I'm here."
