Lucy had reluctantly given her number to Augustus. Right after that, she found herself in a foul mood. Staring blankly at Augustus' number in her call history, she resolved to change her number as soon as she got back.
Clutching the kitten, Lucy walked into the guest house where she was staying. The scowl on her face startled, Cillian. He asked gently, "What's troubling you? You look really upset."
Lucy just shook her head and let out a weary sigh. She did not want to burden Cillian with her troubles, so she kept quiet.
However, her obvious distress was exactly what worried Cillian. If he knew what was bothering her, he could handle it. However, her silence only made his imagination run wild.
"Lucy, please, I'm seriously worried about you," Cillian implored.
Lucy's frown deepened as she stubbornly shook her head once more. It was just some creep who had gotten her number. She would change it soon enough, and then it would be fine.
Cillian was at a loss watching Lucy's defiant stance. They were new to Charleston, and if anything happened to her, he would be devastated.
After a moment of internal debate, Cillian said with grave concern, "Lucy, this isn't something to take lightly. You need to tell me what's going on."
Cillian was dead set on getting the truth out of Lucy. With his unwavering gaze fixed on her, Lucy caved and recounted the day's unsettling events.
"Remember that creep we bumped into when you picked me up? I saw him again in the park today. He was acting strange. First, he tried to coax me into visiting his place, which I shot down.
"Then, he had the nerve to ask for my number, and it's been bugging me ever since."
