Chapter 15

For a moment, no one moved, and then Jadon took a step towards Tapiwa. It was like watching a tornado heading toward her. Without consciously thinking about it, Tapiwa took a step back, nearly knocking into a table behind her.
His reaction was instant. Jadon’s frown deepened, but he stopped. Then, as though suddenly realizing where he was, Jadon took his eyes off Tapiwa and swept his studying gaze over the dim, stuffy library.
Of course, like a silly girl who didn’t know any better, Tapiwa took advantage of Jadon’s temporal distraction to satisfy her own curiosity shamelessly. Her eyes roamed greedily over the man she had hoped not to lay her eyes on again in this lifetime but was equally grateful she had.
