Chapter Fifty Six

I dug my hands through my hair and took deep breaths. I watched mutely as he took my hands gently but firmly away from my head and just held them between us. He didn't do anything. Didn't say anything. He simply held my hands and looked at me. Recognition was there in his eyes and it terrified me. Why did he recognise me? It didn't make any sense. No one knew me personally enough to be able to recognise the way I reacted and behaved now. No one except for my little family unit.

So why did Drew Ozera seem to pick up so much?

It just wasn't fair when I built up more defences around him than when I was with anyone else. I didn't have to be nearly as careful and cautious around others as Drew since I knew that they wouldn't be able to see the signs. Most people wouldn't see the sign even if it smacked them in the face simply because they didn't pay attention to me back then. All they knew was I was useless and pretty pathetic. I used to be rather invisible and I'd somewhat accepted that.
