Nicklaus was cut off guard when he saw Arissa standing steps away from him at the door. How long had she been there and how come he never noticed?
Fuck! The question was how much did she hear?
"Arissa," he mentioned her name softly, all of his anger about Logan disappearing as he fully turned to her, "I should be leaving now,"
Arissa blinked. What does he mean by that and why is he keeping my question hanging? She asked herself.
Arissa strolled into the gym hall, holding his gaze, she said, "I had asked you a question Nicklaus. Who were you talking about?" she had hesitated for a second as she tried to assume she heard wrongly or maybe it was someone else he was speaking about but the pause and how he tried to walk out on her increased her suspicion so she questioned him again.
Nicklaus cleared his throat, "It doesn't matter," he tried to kill the topic as he held her gaze.
