Chapter 85

~Avery's POV~ I stared at the man sitting across from me. His eyes didn't falter, the corner of his mouth was jigged up and made out a smile that made me uncomfortable. ”I’m visiting.” I stated simply. Not making room for further conversation. Or so I thought. ”Visiting family?” He asked me. ”I guess you could say that." I said. ”You know, being out here all alone can be dangerous for such a young girl. Nobody to protect her, to save you from harm. To watch out for you. Or perhaps your man is around here somewhere?” The last was more of a statement from his side. He wanted to know if I was completely alone. ”No, I'm here alone,” I said and leaned forward as I continued. ”And I'm perfectly fine protecting myself. Whatever the danger might be, I'm not as easy to get to as it may seem.” I said. Trying to sound as confident as possible. His smile faltered and he leaned back. ”You know, having a strong man by your side means you don't have to protect yourself. Why don't you think about it.”
