"Don't look at me like that..."
I scoffed, licking my lips to hide my smile as I looked up at her.
She was tempting. Very tempting. And it wasn't intentional, but I could tell she was falling for it anyway.
Obliviously, "Like what?"
Her lips curled, showing me what I tried my best to hide. She let out a small laugh, looking away so my eyes could no longer meet hers.
And then,
"Like you're going to make me regret my decision."
_
After a traumatic event that truly exposed her to the reality that she'd been constantly warned about, Areli meets Savannah, a kind woman who brings all the best things around.
But, of course, it's always too good to be true.
