Summary
It feels wrong to just stand here, with the evidence of her choices all over her house. A part of her wants to tell him the news, but Chloe bites her tongue and waits. She’s tried to get him to talk, time and time again. It’s his turn.
Finally, Lucifer meets her eye for a moment. “When I asked you to come to my place the other night...”
Her heart skips a beat.
“Detective...” He breathes in deep. Then breathes out. Clasps his hands in front of him.
She takes a step towards him.
“Chloe,” he tries again. “I don’t know how you feel about Pierce.” His pupils are blown wide and he doesn’t look away from her. “I don’t know how he feels about you, or whether you should marry him or not. I don’t. But I do know how I feel about you. I should’ve been honest with you when you asked. And I-” His mouth works, but the words seem to be stuck in his throat. He looks away, frustrated, and back at her, and away again.
Hardly daring to breathe, Chloe waits.
