Tenacious Sky

Chapter 28

When I woke up the next morning, Leo was gone. It was the first time I'd woken up by myself. I looked around confused before I went to shower and change into my uniform. When I finished in the bathroom, Leo was back.

"Hey, where did you go this morning?" I asked.

"I couldn't sleep so I went for a run. I'm going to shower," he said quickly. After Leo was dressed and ready to go, we headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.

"You weren't asleep last night?" He asked. I shook my head.

"I didn't mean to offend you, honestly. I just panicked. You were the only person who knew my secret, and you were willing to help me. I didn't want to scare you off," I tried to explain.

"Do you like me?" He asked bluntly. My cheeks heated as I looked away from him.
