Samkiel hadn’t checked in on me today. He seemed to be back to avoiding me. Not that I blamed him after everything. Maybe he’d changed his mind and only wanted to help me but didn’t want anything more. I shouldn’t care. He didn’t owe me anything. We weren’t together, and he had done more for me than anyone ever had. We had never officially been anything, really. But my heart whispered that I wanted us to be something. I wanted that more than I cared to admit.
