"I’ll find you, no matter where you go."
He tilted his head, his calm delivery making the threat all the more unsettling. "Do you understand me?"
His words weren’t loud, but they didn’t need to be. His gaze bore into mine, daring me to defy him.
"Yes." I swallowed hard, nodding slightly, my voice betraying me with its lack of strength.
"Good girl." He watched me with a pleased, almost smug expression.
It seemed like a terrible idea, but something about his overconfidence pushed me to challenge him.
"But, what makes you think I’ll just stay here, waiting for you to show up whenever you feel like it?" I ventured, pushing my luck as we stared at each other.
"Consider it my way of repaying you after everything you’ve done."
I blinked, taken aback and confused.
"Repaying me?" The words slipped out before I could stop them, as my fingers caressed the spot where his hand had been.
His laughter was soft, almost indulgent, as if my naivety amused him.
