Sorry this is a short chapter...more of tease really...just wanted to get something up this morning. I had a 6 hour writing class yesterday, so I depleted all creativity yesterday. Hoping to have some more time to write later. Thank you for all of the reviews. Happy Sunday!
Jake and Olivia sat in the living room. She pretended to be engrossed in the book she was reading, but she could tell he was watching her and it made her uncomfortable. Silently, she said a prayer that Huck had figured out she was in trouble.
She looked up and caught his eye. "How are you doing over there?" She asked casually. She was doing her best to keep the mood light after her phone call. Her call had left him moody and quiet, which she knew was not good in this situation.
He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "I'm fine. Just thinking." His voice was flat, emotionless. She knew that tone, it was just like her father's.
She thought for a moment. This could go either way, but she was curious, so she continued.
"Care to share what's going on in that brain of yours? I can hear you thinking from all the way over here." She smiled, hoping to lighten his mood.
"I am wondering how long it takes for your people to come get you after your call today. Since you practically gave them directions, I'm sure it will be soon. I really wish you hadn't done that Livvie. I was hoping we could do this the easy way." His tone never changed. He was cold, calm, and terrifying.
Fitz was the only person that called her Livvie. Had he listened to them together? Her heart rate sped up and her breathing quickened. She had played her cards, but she hadn't played them right. What was she going to do now? Before her brain could process her next step, he jumped up and moved towards her.
Olivia felt a wave of panic rush over her and then everything went black.
