"Okay, not my finest move. But I had to," he replies, his eyes flickering with a brief, almost imperceptible pain.
"Why are you back now? Why my dad's company? Is this some kind of game for you?" I ask, frustration edging my voice.
"Oh, bunny," he says, sliding closer. My breath hitches at the sudden proximity. "I told you I'd never let us be apart again." He grabs my face with his hand, shaking it slightly as if to emphasize his point. I gasp at his words.
"W-wha-" I say nervousness stealing my ability to form words.
"Yes, bunny. This is not a game. Never apart again. Okay?" He says sliding his thumb over my bottom lip.
