Deceive (Declan Reede: The Untold Story #2) - Plot & Excerpts
The four words ran on repeat through my mind. Seconds had passed since Phoebe had uttered them, and yet it felt like centuries as I tried to figure out how to react. When my brain didn’t respond fast enough, my body took over. My face had broken into a smile to match hers. Then I leaned forward and planted a tender kiss on her forehead. “I’m glad you had a good day.” I backed out of the car and saw Alyssa watching our interaction intently. She had the ends of her hair twirled around her fingers. I reached out to still her actions. “Well . . .,” I started, my heart still hammering in my chest, my smile cemented on my face. “That was unexpected.” Even though I’d said the words when she’d fallen, the delay in her response had thrown me. “She’s very observant.” “She takes after her mother then,” I whispered. When I climbed behind the wheel, the silence in the car was absolute.
