She Shouldn't Have Appeared

Atticus'sPOV:

I didn't know when Page had walked to my side. I was so focused on the phone call that I neglected her.

This was probably the thing I regretted the most. I shouldn't have answered the phone in such a place.

"Bro, who are you talking to on the phone?" Page looked at me innocently. She would have fooled me if I didn't know her.

I didn't believe that she would come to me without any reason. She had always been like this.

What I didn't understand was, what was there to worry about? After all, she had already gotten what she wanted.

"I'm working." I didn't want to reveal any details to her. If she found out that the person on the phone was Eloise, I was sure she'd make something horrible happen.

However, she did not seem to care about that. She only laughed once before looking at me with a gaze full of miracles. I sized her up seriously and saw a warning in her eyes.
