EVE’S APPLE
Leaning against his car, his hands shoved into his pockets, that careless smile tugging at his lips as though he belonged everywhere and nowhere.
“You shouldn’t be here,” I whispered, glancing around.
“Relax, Eve,” he said smoothly, stepping forward. “I just came to see you. Nothing more.”
I swallowed hard, every nerve in me on edge. “What do you want from me? Why now?”
His gaze flickered briefly, like he was calculating. He looked at my tummy and looked back at me. “Because soon, things are going to change. And when they do… I don’t want you caught in the crossfire.”
