"I don't know, and I don't want to find out." Jean grimaced at her shaky voice. She backed up with Zayne, heart pounding. Oh, what she wouldn't do to be back with her parents. This was way more exciting, yes, but it would be more enjoyable if she didn't feel as if she were going to die at any moment.
She jumped as the elevator at the end of the hallway dinged, and the doors opened.
Zayne watched the elevator, fear written in his eyes. “Yeah. . . I don’t know about you, but this is where I leave. You’re welcome to join me,” he said, backing up. He hadn’t realized just how lonely he was, until he met Jean. It would be nice to maybe make a friend.
He turned on his heel, rushing back into his apartment. “Looks like my supplies are gonna have to wait.” He said under his breath.
