All was awkward, though I wanted to embrace her badly but was afraid to do.
"Baby?" I called her.
Fenju lifted her eyes and swallowed, looking miserable and pale. The second I moved toward her she backed up a step and held up her hand to keep me away.
" Sorry. I want to be alone ." Her bottom lip trembled as she choked out the words.
So different from when it turned up in a sexy smile, she usually smiled a lot more than I did. Her whole face lit up when she did it. Whenever she smiled, it made me want to smile in return. She made me want a lot of things I'd never cared about before too. But she wasn't smiling now. She was scared me to death.
It killed me to see her like this.
"Baby, remember what I said."
