Helanie:
I was horrified by the sight of Kaye watching me being carried in the arms of Penn. I knew it looked bad, but why would it bother me? It shouldn't, right?
But it did.
The hurt in his eyes made me feel like dying in that moment. Oh, wait—I would die from the pain.
Penn only gave Kaye a brief nod before rushing past him to take me upstairs. I couldn't do anything; the pain was too much. Kaye, on the other hand, seemed frozen in place, as if he wasn't one for grand gestures anyway.
I closed my eyes because, at this point, I didn't even want to see what was going on around me anymore. I didn't want anyone to see me either.
But that was inevitable—we were spotted before we could even reach the elevator.
"Wait!"
A loud, gruff voice stopped us.
