“Izzy didn’t really know how to take that question. Was that better or worse than some expression of regret? “Why wouldn’t I?”
Darr pulled his hand away and rested his knuckles on the grass. “You know why.”
Was he serious? Izzy choked on a confused laugh and sat up properly. “No, actually. I really don’t.”
This time he frowned as if he thought she was being deliberately oblivious. “Izzy, look at the facts. I’m a demon. I’m sworn to protect you from any and all harm, but otherwise we’re incompati...ble.”
Her heart lodged in her throat, Izzy swallowed and shoved to her feet. “I refuse to accept that.” She spun on her heel, not wanting to see the frustration her response would surely generate. Not wanting him to see the tears she was fighting back. Now she wished she had gone down to the lakeshore with her friends. Playing in the sun and the cool water despite her once-raging headache would surely have been better than this.
A strong hand latched onto her wrist as she started up the wooden steps to the cabin.MoreLess
