The shock of it makes Jade freeze. She tries to change gears, but it is too late to do anything useful, so we just sit there. I attempt a weak smile, but my heart is pounding hard in my chest. I feel a cold sweat on my forehead as Anderson's car pulls up right next to ours. I turn my face away. We are in so much trouble.
"Are you following me?" he demands, his voice coming through his open window.
This is our moment to speed away, but instead, Anderson gets out of his car and marches toward my side. He is not even looking at Jade. He yanks my door open.
"Get out of the car."
I press my feet into the floor mat. "No."
"Well, I asked you politely."
A short cry escapes my lips as he pulls me from the vehicle like I weigh nothing. I try to swallow my fear and keep my expression blank as our eyes meet. His are wide and full of a hot anger, and I know I am the cause of it.
"I will ask you one more time. Were you stalking me?"
"No. We were here to see Iris."
