“Sorry?” His face is lined with worry, but he’s still bowing close to me, his eyes scanning my face again and again. “For stealing the book. For deceiving you. I couldn’t tell you about my deal with Mordeus. I had to save Jas.” I close my eyes before adding, “I’m sorry I trusted Finn when you warned me I shouldn’t. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.” The mattress shifts as he sits on the bed next to me. He pulls me into his arms, his touch and warmth such a relief that tears stream down my face. “Let the healer look at you, and then you can tell me everything.” So I do.
he makes hard not to be on his team
but I manage 💅🏼
