“This part of town isn’t a good place to be at this time of night.”
“Was that supposed to come out incredibly creepy?” Cecilia stopped in her tracks to stare at the guy who had spoken to her. She was on her way to meet somebody - not unusual for her despite the time of night, and it definitely wasn’t her first time on this street. But it was her first time seeing him here. “Because that was really the vibe that I got from that.”
He hadn’t been in this area for quite some time. How long exactly? He wasn’t sure to be honest but that didn’t matter. What he did know was that it had changed quite a lot on the surface but underneath quite a few things still seemed to be the same. Maybe that was why he had even bothered to speak the warning to the girl, headphones hanging around his neck, the sound of Bastille’s Fake It still audible in the silence around them.
Noah gave a grin at her reply, probably not helping his case at all since those kind of grins always looked slightly deranged on his face - he should know, he had perfected that expression after all. “Did it? Well, either way, it’s the truth. Young women like you - or really anyone really - shouldn’t walk around here at this time. You never know what might appear.”
