The Price We Pay for Love - Chapter Nineteen
Chapter Nineteen: Open Eyes
“So, you're either fascinated by asphalt or playing a solo round of the game Freeze. I can't quite determine which.”
For a man whose livelihood, whose very life depended upon his ability to constantly be aware of his surroundings, Willow had surprised him. Angel had not heard her approach, and he certainly had not realized that she had taken a seat beside him on the hospital sidewalk. It was disconcerting. He also had no idea what she was talking about.
“What?”
Evidently, judging by the light laughter she emitted before smiling and answering his single word question, Willow found his confusion amusing. “I don't know how long I stood just inside the hospital's entrance, watching you from the windows - at least ten minutes, and I don't think that you ever moved once. You were like a statue. Finally, I decided to come out here and see if you were okay, so I thought breaking the ice with a joke would be better than just telling you to snap out of it and come back inside.”
FIND THE REST HERE.
