“I must say… I’m surprised to see you here.” I walk towards her. “Why? You don’t think I go to church?” she asks. “No, I figured you’d burst into flames the moment you stepped through the doors.” I smirk. I’m honestly surprised she hasn’t. I know I’ve said the wrong thing when her face drops. It’s only for a split second before she recovers. “Funny. If running that crappy Irish wannabe crime family doesn’t work out for you, you could try stand-up,” she says. I laugh. “I have no intention of taking over the family business,” I admit out loud for the first time. “Really? Pretty sure the heir doesn’t usually get a choice, Connor.” “Pretty sure everyone has a choice.” “To live or die maybe.” Aurora lifts one shoulder. “Did you follow me here?” “No.” I didn’t follow her. I followed the GPS location of her phone. “I should go.” “Or… you could stay.” Taking hold of her hand, I pull her towards the side of the church. “What are you doing? Where are we going?” “Somewhere we can be alone.” I take her through the back and up the stairs, and Aurora groans. “Really, Connor, why are we climbing up here?” “Because no one else is going to come up here,” I tell her. This staircase leads to the bell tower. “Because no one in their right mind is climbing these stairs,” she grumbles. Once we’re at the top, I sit on the floor. It’s a small space, but we’re alone. Aurora sits next to me. “Is this where you push me out the window? Let me plunge to my untimely demise.” I laugh. “Why would you come all the way up here with me if you thought I was going to throw you down?” “Because I’d make sure I took you with me.” Aurora’s lips tilt up into half a smile. “What happened?” I ask her. “What do you mean?” “You seem… distant.” She’s more closed off than she has been over the last few weeks. We’ve had a lot of fun together, had a lot of conversations. I know her. And I know that something’s wrong. “I’m just tired,” she says. “So, if not to throw me out the window, what did you bring me up here for?” “To talk?” “Connor, I don’t want to talk right now.” Aurora rises up onto her knees, pulling her top over her head and revealing a blue silk bra that’s struggling to contain her breasts. Along with two knives that are attached to a matching halter. 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐊𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐞 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰, 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝.
