Slowly pulling down the gravel path leading to the Harbor Pack's house, Jude finally spoke. "I'll have to ask Adan's permission first."
"What? Why?" Why did Adan have to give permission?
He sighed. It was quiet, but I didn't miss it. "That's just the way it is pretty girl." There was a tone to his voice that ended the conversation there and then.
Groaning I reached over and undone my seatbelt. "Fine." Once the car had come to a stop, I opened the door before turning and looking over my shoulder, sending him a small smile which I hoped was reassuring. "Ready?"
In that one look I saw every different emotion known cross Jude's eyes, from fear and nervousness to pain and worry, but a second later the expressionless mask was once again in place. "I think it's more a question of whether you are, Berry."
If I knew then what I was about to see, I would have given Jude my answer.
No I wasn't ready.
