Aurelia smiles. “I had a feeling you’d be back.” “But you were the one to tell me to leave.” “And I was right, you should absolutely have left!” Her eyes widen. “But soul-bonds are impossible to ignore.” I cough, the air in the back of my throat getting caught on the inhale. God, did everyone know but me? Do I even know for sure that that’s what this is…a soul-bond? If somehow everything works out in the next day or so, I’ll have to come back and ask her exactly how that intuition thing works.
