CHAPTER 334
KATYA POV
"…Are you scared?"
I stared at him. The question settled somewhere inside me, refusing to move.
Scared? Of course I was scared.
Of tomorrow. Of the police. Of the bodies in that alley. Of saying the wrong thing. Of somehow making everything worse.
But… If I was completely honest with myself. Those weren't the only things frightening me.
Romeo. I was still scared of Romeo. The realization struck me with embarrassing clarity. I'd spent the better part of the afternoon convincing myself I'd changed.
That I'd become stronger. Braver. That the frightened girl from six months ago no longer existed. Apparently, I'd been lying to myself.
Because here I was. Sitting on my own bed while Romeo Salvatore stood so close I could feel the warmth radiating from him.
My heartbeat was so loud it drowned out my own thoughts. I was terrified. Not the screaming, panicking kind of terrified. The quieter kind.
