Chapter 26

The next week was very hectic since it was finals week. I studied day and night and pretty much didn't have the time for anything else.

What surprised me was that Geoff worked where I studied. He would even occasionally explain some concepts to me. I didn't necessarily need any explanations, but I thought it was hot when he went all teacher mode.

After the final exam, me, Brandon and Dahlia hung out at the cafè. I didn't have any shifts that day. After that, I drove straight home. I got out of my truck and peered into the woods behind the house, remembering that creepy man.

I went into the house and when I saw Geoff standing in the foyer, I jumped into his arms. He caught me easily and I pulled back to look at his face.

He smiled and I think it was the first time I saw him smile. I loved it. I smiled back and touched his smile with my fingers.

Remembering that haggard man who still creeped me out, I asked, "What happened to that man in the woods?"
