Chapter 19: Crystal Clear

I looked into Jean-Pierre’s dark eyes, and I felt every color in my face rush out. How had he found me? I hadn’t been hiding, but I definitely didn’t tell him where I lived. One of the main reasons I had met Jean-Pierre at the restaurant was so my family wouldn't stick their noses in my business just yet. But as I had laid down to sleep last night, I had been thankful that he couldn’t find me.
