Albie's POV
"Help me?"
Her face scrunched up in confusion, her eyes narrowed in the tiniest bit and her brows followed suit. It seemed she had no idea about what I was talking about.
"Yes."
In the heat of the moment, I didn't think of how she would react to it but now that I had said it, I might as well pull through with it. There was no backing down now.
"What? If that's the case then definitely you will help me, we are on it together, remember?"
Her mind hasn't thought and gone to that exact, I'm sure it's something that she doesn't want to even think or talk about. I wonder how she would react if she knew that I was aware of it.
"It's not about the case."
"Then what is it?"
Her voice was normal, neutral, and without a single underlying tone. I had a feeling that notion would change soon enough, my only concern was it wouldn't affect the tempo of our conversation.
