Aurora turned around and glared at him, furious, her eyes flashing with frustration and a trace of resentment. "Don't give me that crap. You think I don't know? You did it on purpose!"
"On purpose? And what are you gonna do about it?"
Everett raised an eyebrow, completely unfazed, and strode off ahead with his long legs.
Aurora, breathless but pissed, caught up to him. "Everett, you think I'm fun to mess with, huh? Easy to fool, is that it?"
"Absolutely!"
His answer almost made her choke in disbelief. She was beyond frustrated now—too tired to argue, too drained to care. They'd been on the move too long, and she really wasn't in the mood for his games anymore.
Maybe she was easy to fool. If it really was Autumn and Caroline who tied her to that tree root, then she must've been blind not to see what kind of person Autumn really was.
Seeing her out of breath, Everett stopped, sat down on a rock, and cracked open a bottle of water for a few gulps.
