His Dark Secret
For one strange second, his expression changed like he smelled something.
Everything around us faded, the noise, the movement, the entire hallway. Just him.
His eyes were dark and focused. It didn’t feel like a normal look, it felt more like recognition.
He looked away and kept walking. The hallway came back to life instantly.
Elizabeth exhaled beside me.
“That’s exactly why people avoid him,” she muttered.
But I barely heard her because as Adrian disappeared down the hallway, he looked back at me. And this time his eyes weren't completely human.
