Scarlett's body tensed instantly upon hearing Xander's voice from behind.
'Did he overhear my conversation?' Scarlett wondered, turning to face him with a gentle smile on her face.
"Xander, I need to go somewhere..." Even though she worried he would refuse her request to leave in the middle of the night, she gathered her courage and spoke up.
"Where to?" Xander approached her and took hold of her hand.
He waited for her response, but Scarlett found herself unable to utter a single word as she gazed into his eyes. He smiled, cupping her chin and keeping their gazes locked.
"You want to go to The Fox headquarters!?" Xander asked nonchalantly, but to Scarlett, it felt like thunder crashing in her ears.
He knows!?
"Xander, you..." Scarlett's voice trailed off as confusion clouded her mind.
