Alice heard it, too, the sound of knuckles cracking, and as she spared a glance over her shoulder at Bradley, she was momentarily distracted by the fact that it was kind of hot that he seemed willing to fight for her.
Caleb's hand returned to her arm and snapped her right out of that reverie. Damn.
"Caleb, you're being an ass," she hissed, shooting him a glare (a rarity for someone like Alice- and it didn't seem right on her features).
She turned her focus back to Boo and sighed. "Give me one minute. I'll be back, I promise." She offered him a strained smile and shifted forward to press a defiant kiss to his cheek.
