⌜ chapter twenty-four ⌟
"You don't really love me, do you?" Letty pushes out her lower lip as she turns to walk backward, looking at Jason.
He shakes his head. "No."
"Dick."
"The ice cream shop is closed, Scar." He reminds her, and she shrugs.
After leaving the museum, the four of them went to get a burger from Chubbie's before going their separate ways so they could head home. Seeing as Jason and Letty live together again, the two of them didn't separate, and now she wants ice cream.
"We could break in." She smiles, and he shakes his head.
"We agreed to live normal, remember? No more of the jacked behavior that we picked up while hunting." He raises his eyebrows. "Normal people don't break into places, they go to the store when the ice cream shop is closed."
"But you won't go with me."
"Or they wait until the next day when the shop reopens."
"One last time, for old times sake."
"Scarlett." He says, and she smiles again. "No."
Her expression falls. "You're lame."
The brunette turns around to walk correctly at the same time that she rounds the corner, and she ends up bumping into someone. She looks up to apologize just as Jason's hand shoots out, and he quickly pulls her back toward him to place himself between them. Her jaw tightens when she sees the man that she ran into.
"We have to stop meeting like this." Julian smiles as he looks between the two of them.
"You could leave." She tells him, and he chuckles.
"That wouldn't serve my purpose here."
"Being a nuisance?"
"Cut your losses and go, man." Jason tells him. "Haven't you wasted enough time already?"
"I'm not leaving until I get my answers." Julian says and then he smiles again. "Come on, I have a trusting face, don't I? Let's have a little friendly conversation."
"Even if we knew what you wanted to know — which we don't — we wouldn't tell you a damn thing." He says. "So quit harassing Scarlett, and get the hell out of our town."
"It was my town once too."
"I don't give a shit."
"What happened to my father?" Julian asks as he looks at Letty.
