That caught my attention. I frowned. "Who? You know who's behind this?"
Idris inhaled deeply, his gaze drifting out the car window. "i’ve got no proof, but it's not a wild guess anymore. They're just trying to keep me from finding someone, throwing obstacles in my way at every turn."
I was lost in his words, staring at him with a mix of confusion and curiosity. I could tell he was holding back something big, but I never pried, not even sure how to start. For instance, why was he at Hartfield five years back? He is Mr. Young, the one and only, always flanked by a squad of bodyguards. How does a guy like that end up in a water cell?
The time in Macamer also puzzled me. Why did he beat himself up over Lucas's death?
Now, he was dropping hints about some 'someone' and 'they'. Who were they, and why were they involved?
Questions swirled in my head.
However, we all had our secrets, right? I let it be.
He caught my silence, looked down with those deep, warm eyes, and said, "I figured you would be all over this. Why so quiet?"
I just gave a small smile, "You'll tell me what you can. If you can't, I don't want to make it tough for you."
He paused, a shadow crossing his face. "Yvette, you really trust me that much?"
I looked away, playing it cool. "It's not about trust. I'm just not into digging too deep."
Then I heard his chuckle, that deep, magnetic sound. I glanced over and there he was, all smiles, and yeah, he was pretty easy on the eyes. I have known that forever. However, right then, that smile? It made my heart skip a beat. I raised an eyebrow, "What's so funny?"
"I’m just happy," he said, his smile growing.
I rolled my eyes and clammed up.
