Lips quirked into a slight smile as Brian put her to the inside of the sidewalk. It was endearing, even though she’d likely survive being hit by a car more than him. Valerie raised her eyebrows and cast her gaze up at him as they walked side by side. “You have?” Not terribly surprising considering she believed there was some sort of pull towards Nevada, and Vegas was a huge place for things to swarm too with so many tourists. Then he said the first of several things that made her stomach lurch.
Reality slapped her in the face like a wave of sea water. Chilled her to the point that her breath caught in her throat, and her feet stopped moving. Frozen in place as it all sunk in. The girl locked up that the vampire had mentioned, had killed some girl’s father, and Brian had discussed this with her? What else had they talked about? Valerie brought her right hand up to press against her temple, when she spoke her voice was very calm, and very quiet.
“I literally just told you about Julianna five minutes ago when I was spilling my guts to give us a fighting chance and you didn’t think to mention her when I brought it up?”
The blonde tilted her head, tried to wrap her mind around the fact that he knew about Rhiannon, knew the S word, and that Julianna was a watcher before she’d even told him.
“How long have you known exactly what I am?” The way she looked at Brian he could have been a stranger. “Did you tell that girl about me?” The entire situation felt messy to the point she wanted to be sick. She recoiled from him, backed up against a wall and tried to think.
Laughter, short and barely there, fell from Valerie’s lips as she ran her hands through her somewhat tangled hair. “You’re talking to strangers about your telekinesis. Probably about me. Not everyone is who they appear to be, Brian. You kept all this from me. How can I…”
Valerie’s world shrunk in size. Theresa obviously knew Holly, who knew Brian, who happened to know Julianna, and here she was trying to keep it all separate while spilling the truth to the one person she so desperately had wanted to confide fully in. Valerie shook her head, eyebrows drawn together, “How can I possibly trust you.” The blonde pressed her palms against her temples and ignored the way colours shifted and blurred. “I’ve lost my appetite.”
