I stopped so abruptly that I nearly tripped over my own feet. My heart was beating so fast. I wondered what he was doing here by this time. I turned slowly.
Hades stood several feet away, he was watching me, amusement dancing in his eyes. The worst part?
He looked relaxed.
As though he had heard the conversation to know exactly why I was fleeing from a group of gossiping villagers. The realization made me want to disappear.
"I wasn't running." I let out a forced laugh. One dark eyebrow lifted.
"You were walking very quickly. It seemed like you were running from something"
"I had somewhere to be."
"Interesting." He hummed.
"What is?"
"The fact that you suddenly had somewhere to be after they started talking about us."
Heat flooded my face. So he had heard it just like I thought. So that meant he had also be eavesdropping. Then another thought crossed my mind.
What did he mean by us? Was there even an us?
