When the final bell rang, I rushed out of school and found Declan waiting for me. He had the back door open, and as I approached, he smiled. I returned the gesture, even though I was exhausted. And nervous. I climbed into the backseat, and he closed the door before rounding the car and sliding in behind the steering wheel.
"Going straight home again today?" he asked just like he did every day.
"Not today. Can you please take me to Annie's Bookstore and Café? I'm meeting someone about a tutoring job."
Declan caught my gaze in the rearview mirror and grinned. "Tutoring, huh?"
"That's the plan."
Providing the guy I was meeting decided to hire me. Sighing, I rested my head on the back of the seat and closed my eyes.
Since I'd gotten the text about tutoring, I hadn't been able to stop thinking about what I was doing. What if this guy was a total creep?
"Here we are, Miss Chloe." Declan stopped in front of the bookstore.
