Chapter 76

Lila’s POV
She stood close to him, too close for comfort. My throat was dry, and I desperately needed water, but I knew it wasn’t exactly that. My body reacted to the scene before me – to Alessia in Leo’s face. It looked like something that had happened before, them standing this close to have a conversation.
Her hand reached for his shirt, but Leo didn’t swat it away. Our eyes met for a fraction of a second, his two beautiful slits of black that wrapped themselves tightly around me, and mine, a contrasting blend of brown and green, seeking him out.
