Chapter 104

• He didn't answer the question immediately and it wasn't a surprise to me. Before now, I always had this instinct that he isn't being genuine with me even if I don't know what it is he might be hiding. However, I'm determined for him to tell me now, so I will know what he is up to and know how to defend him around others.
• He puffed out a loud gust of air, blinking repeatedly while contemplating if to tell me whatever it is. "Look, Danika. I don't know why you think I'm hiding something. I went to the hospital to look for you and then someone told me you left... He said you might have gone to the library so I decided to come there." He splayed his right hand at me in a defensive gesture.
• "Someone told you that I went to the library? Who?" My gut tells me he is lying. I didn't tell anyone that I was coming here. I needed my privacy which was the major reason I left without telling Roland. He might have brought me here the other day, yet, I didn't tell him I will continue coming here.
