Chapter 51

**** Ryan *****I noticed it before anyone said anything.Not something obvious, not loud, not the kind of thing you can point at and go yeah, that’s it, just… off, like the whole place shifted half an inch and no one wanted to admit it.And it got under my skin fast.I stepped into the main area, rolling my shoulders once like I could shake the feeling off, but the second I walked in, the noise dipped just slightly, conversations cutting short, eyes flicking up then away, and my chest tightened before I could even think about it.“…okay, what the hell is that,” I muttered under my breath, my gaze dragging across the room, trying to catch it again.No one said anything.A couple of them straightened like they got caught doing something, others suddenly got real interested in whatever the hell was in front of them, and a few, a few just avoided looking at me completely.That wasn’t normal.I took a few steps further in, slower now, my jaw tightening slightly. “Alright… either I’m losin
