I’m not the one chasing ghosts.” His eyes darkened, his gaze dropping to my lips. “He’s not the only one haunted by you.” I froze. I should have walked away. Instead, I whispered, “Then why do you look at me like you want to hate me and kiss me at the same time?” He didn’t answer. But his silence spoke louder than any lie.

Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."
