Adrian didn't like that Ivy seemed to be afraid of him. Every time he had run into her after she came back from her long absence she acted like she would rather be anywhere else in the world than in front of him.
He didn't understand what could have possibly made her so terrified of him. He didn't do anything wrong. She had to be blaming him for what happened to her.
If he had to guess…her radius had expanded. That woman always got sick when hers did too. Then she would go on an even bigger rampage trying to control everything around her and would scream and break things, saying it was all Adrian's fault.
He didn't think it was fair. How was it his fault if he wasn't actively doing anything?
Ivy was being slightly rude but the way her arm shook as she slapped his hand away was what really hurt. She didn't want anything to do with him at all. That rankled more than it should have.
