Chapter 27

• “Oh, Xander is here.” Bella gave me a dirty look. “Hi, Xander. It’s been a while.” She smiled at him. His response was a grunt.
• “Uh, Xander was just leaving.” I gave him a pointed look that he ignored at first but I continued to glare at him. “He came over to drop something off but he’s on his way out.” I glared harder.
• “Right, I was on my way out.” He side-eyed Bella who had a bemused look on her face. I could understand her expression. Xander was showing obvious displeasure at her appearance.
