Murder At Locke Abbey
“The door was ajar but Thea kept her distance, unwilling to overhear any more unwanted news. The crash of something metallic (probably being thrown, judging by the raised voices immediately preceding it) was enough to tell her that she would not be admitted to the room.
Cole came out a minute or so later. She had backed away from the door, clearly showing that she knew the outcome but Cole approached anyway.
She crossed her arms over her chest, a gesture that her father had once explaine...d to her, was defensive.
Ever since this morning, she had felt completely out of sorts. She had expected to be able to simply cut Cole short when he tried to speak with her, she had thought she would be able to harden her heart, to use her anger at him as a barrier, but clearly this was different to any other time she had been hurt.
She found herself exceptionally aware of him at all times and sometimes, almost forgetting her own pain in favour of offering him some comfort.MoreLess
