I stood behind Hayden as my eyes scanned around the room. Suddenly, the door at the other end of the room began sliding open. My eyes immediately focused on the door, knowing full well who was supposed to walk through it.
“Ethan…” I whispered so softly that I hardly heard myself.
Hayden definitely saw him too because his hand that held mine tightened. Ethan walked in alone and the door behind him began sliding close. I could feel his eyes on us, and I started feeling extremely uncomfortable under his confident gaze. Ethan was dressed in an all-black suit as if he knew that Hayden would turn up in an all-white one. He had a confident smile on his lips, and he seemed very much at ease.
“The rules…” Hayden hissed softly.
“Ok…” I whispered back to reassure him that I was well aware of the rules that he had set.
“Let’s go,” Hayden said emotionlessly as he tugged on my hand for me to follow after him.
