Guts

Xander's POV

I stood in front of the door for a couple more seconds before knocking again.

Had she not heard me the first time? Was I not loud enough? Or perhaps I was too loud and I had somehow disrupted her sleep? Maybe she was already

"Ugh," I groaned. I was torn in between yelling out my frustration or just reeling it in. After a couple of seconds, I decided on the best option for me. I was going to calm down and hold it in.

Why exactly was Kieran acting this way? Call me crazy, but I could swear her reaction towards me had changed ever since our sunset date.

Did she not like it? Or had I done something wrong throughout and she only pretended to put up with me till we were back home?

But she was genuinely happy. I could feel it. The way her body relaxed as she leaned into my touch, there was no way she could have been able to take that. Right?

Right.

I hoped.
