"Victor…" I finally spoke, breaking the uneasy silence that had stretched far too long.
"Yeah?" he replied, turning to me with a raised eyebrow.
"Is something… wrong?" I asked, frowning. His gaze flickered briefly before he looked ahead again.
"Course not," he said, his tone flat, almost dismissive.
Alright, I'd have to be the biggest idiot alive to believe that.
Victor was clearly avoiding Selena's gaze. It was painfully obvious. His eyes darted everywhere else like he was afraid to accidentally meet hers. But why? What reason could there possibly be for him to act this way?
Sure, Selena was stronger than him, that much was a fact, but that shouldn't make him so uneasy. Not Victor. He wasn't the type to back down just because someone was stronger.
Wait.
Or…
Could she have done something to him while I was unconscious?
