~CHAPTER 39~
"Look what we have here," Frank said, his voice low and smooth, like honey dripping from a spoon.
A sly, lazy grin spread across his face as he watched me from head to toes, his gaze lingering on my bare feet.
When did he wake up? I wondered, recalling how dense of a sleeper he was. I looked down at my bare feet, the chill of the floor seeping into my skin.
I wasn't comfortable with Frank, and he still gave me a vibe I couldn't quite place - He has this mix of amusement and curiosity that made me feel like I was walking on eggshells.
And to make matters worse, Aria was the one who had offered me to stay with them, while Frank was asleep, oblivious to the new addition to their household.
Now, I couldn't help but wonder what his reaction would be to having me as a leech, because that's exactly what I was - a stranger, imposing on their hospitality, with no money to pay them for the shelter they were providing.
