My breaths were coming in short gasps and I couldn't bear to meet Knight's eye. I tittered out a laugh that sounded broken even to my own ears. It took everything inside me to keep the tears at bay.
He might not have recognized me but he sure as hell hadn't forgotten about me. It lit up my insides and the wonderous look in his eyes gave me the impression that he had been longing to see me just as much as I had. Perhaps even more.
"You can hear me, right?"
I was still enthralled by how much his voice had changed. It was all gruff and manly. And completely turned my knees to Jell-O. Not that I would ever admit it.
He snapped his fingers in front of my face. "Hello? Can you hear me?"
"Eh . . ." I pretended to blink my eyes as if coming back to my senses just now. "English . . . ben . . . yok . . . no English."
