There was no logical reason it took Colin that long to react when he heard her footsteps coming close. When she started closing the window above him, he panicked a bit.
All she had to do was look down and she'd see him? What would she think? Crap. Without really thinking, he sprang to his feet, just as she buried her face in her hands.
Oh fuck, he couldn't do this. He should have never sent that note or come to check on her. He was driving her crazy. And she wasn't.
He was. "No, you're not," he said softly. Instinctively, he took a few steps away from the light. Not meeting her gaze. If she could see him clearly, she'd know. The crazy and the vampire.
"I'm sorry." He was. For some many things. And he should leave now, now that he'd proved to her she wasn't crazy.
