43. Asena
Caspian's expression remains steady and so does Zavian's.
Neither looks embarrassed, i mean, why would they be embarrassed from confessing?
On the contrary, the emotions on their faces scream honesty.
"We don't expect you to say it back."
Zavian's voice breaks the silence.
"Then why tell me?" I ask in a small voice.
His gaze never leaves mine. He stares, his eyes soft.
"Because if you walk away tonight..." He pauses and something painful flashes through his eyes. "...you deserve the truth first. You deserve to know why we did what we did and why we are keeping you close." He confesses.
Hearing that hurts far more than it should and the room becomes blurry suddenly. I blink rapidly trying to hide these stupid tears, stupid emotions and this stupid heart.
