Sebastian eyed Poppy, then Xavian, whose gaze was fixed on the arm he had clinging around her. The man couldn't explain what it was, but he'd felt this chill, this sort of warning bell going off in his head that if he didn't give them distance immediately, he would be done for. For goodness sake, it wasn't even cold that night, but he was suddenly freezing, and Sebastian was not someone who liked danger.
He quickly took his arm off Poppy and gave her a nervous smile. "I-I'll see you around, Pop-pop."
Poppy blinked at him.
"Wait, where are you going? Seb—"
"We'll talk later." He was basically sprinting at this point, pulling the cap of his hood over his head.
Poppy sighed in resignation and rubbed her temple. But suddenly, as if realizing that she had some big man in front of her, staring down at her like he'd caught her in an act, she peeked up at him.
Goodness!
