Chapter 27

Skylar's POV

I didn't know how I was still standing on my own two feet when that little act had drained enough energy from inside me. Caden, on the other hand, looked totally the opposite; calm and unbothered.

I leaned back against the wall as I saw him opening the door. All my senses had gone haywire, I didn't even feel the surprise when I saw that familiar redhead guy -Seth- and Shane coming inside. I didn't even know how to respond when Shane passed me a casual smirk, Seth giving me

a small wave of acknowledgement from behind him.

Seth looked back at Caden and I saw him speak out some words before Caden took out a small card from his pocket, passing it to him.

Why did he look so unbothered? Why was I so bothered by that almost-kiss?

None of them thankfully seemed to notice my dazed and confused state until Adrian stepped inside my house from the front door, behind me.

"Skylar, are you... all right?" He asked.
