From the next chapter (not beta'ed yet)
Gabe's POV
I decided on impulse to swing by Sam Uley’s house. Maybe Gracie would be around. I was about to knock on their front door when it swung open. I took a cautious step back as Ryan came out, his face becoming thunderous when he saw me.
“You said I could come here,” I reminded him.
He nodded and walked by me without a word, leaving the door open.
“Thank you for that, by the way,” I called out.
Ryan froze before he slowly turned toward me, his body shaking slightly. I kept my pose relaxed and non-threatening, but my senses were alive, aware of his every move.
“I didn’t do it for you,” he gritted out. With a nod toward the house, he added, “I did it for her.”
I watched his aura go from an unsettled color of brownish black to bright pink. I shook my head as I watched the color blaze.
“Why don’t you tell her you love her?” I questioned—because only feelings of strong love could formulate that shade of pink. I knew from a conversation with Gracie a few days ago that she and Ryan were still trying to be friends. What I didn’t understand was why. Was he playing a game with her…or with himself?
