"Why would I stalk you?"

Deitrich's voice grew a little defensive as he looked around. "So, you didn't, right?" Elise questioned. Her innocent eyes unable to see the guilt coursing through Dietrich's body.

"Of course not."

"I knew it. Xavier… That lying son of a b***h. Just, why does he hurt me so much? What have I done to him?"

Dietrich's body stiffened, but Elise couldn't see a flicker of guilt cross his face before he quickly composed himself, his sharp features settling back into the mask of control he usually wore. Leaving a single thought drowning his heart…

I lied to her.

He let out a low sigh, leaning back slightly but still close enough that she could feel the warmth radiating from him.
