KADE’S POV
Being this close to Andrea and not being able to touch her or talk with her as usual was pure agony.
After we returned from the mayor’s office and I parked in front of the factory, she mumbled, “Thank you for going with me and for your help with the Alphas.”
As she stepped out, I couldn’t resist catching her wrist. She turned to me, an eyebrow raised, and I could feel her pulse racing under my fingers.
“We should talk…right?” I said skeptically.
She glanced at where I was holding her and sighed. “About what?”
“Come home,” I said tightly. Desperately. “I miss you so fucking much, Andrea.”
Her face shuttered, her guarded expression wavered, and for a second, I thought she was going to agree. I thought she would get back into the car and come home with me. But then—
“Kay! You’re back!”
Andrea yanked her hand out of my grasp like I’d burned her.
