Even after another evening with Gray, Steve’s words echoed through Sophia’s mind. She couldn’t help it. The worry was there, constantly screaming in the background. Maybe Steve’s right, she thought. Maybe Gray wasn’t who she thought he was.

But he couldn’t be right. Gray hadn’t done a single thing wrong, and he’d shown her nothing but kindness. If anything, he’d been nicer to her than most of the people she’d known in that town her entire life.

But still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that something terrible was about to happen. The tension was there, heavy and electric in the air, like the sky just before a summer storm.

And something just didn’t feel right.

She parked her car in the driveway and glanced over at Steve’s house. His car was there; a sure sign that he would be in for the evening. Outside of work and class, he didn’t have a life.

Well, other than checking in on you, apparently, she thought.

She guided her thoughts away from him. Just thinking about him was enough to make her cringe.

Her eyes drifted to his house once more. Not a soul was in the yard, but as her eyes scanned the property, she honed in on a figure standing in front of one of the windows upstairs.

A shudder rippled through her as her mind raced to the worst possible conclusion. Like clockwork, the little voice in her head was back, taunting her in the worst of ways.

Okay, just calm down, she thought. She took a deep breath. Maybe it’s not what you think it is.

Still, the thought did nothing to steady her heart as it thudded against her ribcage. The thought of Steve spying on her, watching her every move was enough to make her sick.

And enough to make her pissed off beyond all belief.

What an asshole, she thought. Does he really think I won’t call him out on this bullshit? Adrenaline rushed through her veins as she flung open the car door. Two could play this game.

And she wouldn’t hesitate to get in his face.

Like a storm, she whirled into her house, feeling like she was on a warpath. All she had to do now was ditch her bag and go over and give him a piece of her mind.

“Everything okay, Sophia?” her mother shouted after her.

She let out an audible groan. “No. Our freaking neighbor’s a creeping weirdo.”

Her mother eyed her with disbelief. “I think you’re being a little overdramatic.”

“Seriously? Is it really that overdramatic when the guy literally stood at his window staring down at me?”

Her mother shook her head. Sophia’s imagination always ran wild to a small extent. But this?

This was over the top.

“I think you’re just a little paranoid, Sophia.”

She threw her hands in the air. “I’m not being paranoid! Not to mention, he bugged me earlier this week because he wanted to grill me about Grayson.”

Her mother eyed her suspiciously. “Okay, why don’t you sit down, and we will talk about this. And while we’re on the topic, what exactly is your status with Grayson?”

Yep.
