Chapter 22 – Gathering My Thoughts

LUCIUS.

I was lost for words and just watched as she walked away from me. She didn’t even take the flowers with her.

I peered through the shelves and saw her return to the middle counter, where she began shuffling books and papers without saying anything.

The blonde girl began to ask questions, but she simply nodded her head without responding.

Was she mad?

I didn’t do anything. I didn’t f*uck Nyneve? I didn’t even spend time alone with her.

So what the f*uck was happening?

I cleared my throat and walked straight ahead to where she was, taking the flowers with me. The blonde girl smiled before she moved away from the counter and helped a teenager.

“Patrea…” I placed the roses in front of her, which she took without looking at me.

“Hmmm…”

“Say something?”

“Like what?”

“Anything. Are you mad?”

“I just need time to gather my thoughts.”

“Do you want me to leave?” My lips pursed into a thin line. If she asked me to leave, I would lose my cool.

She snapped her head up as her forehead creased. “And where are you headed?”

“I don’t know.”

“Don’t tell me you’re going to Kalmerus.” Her voice sounded hostile.

“I won’t go there if you don’t want me to. But it looks like you don’t want me here either.”

“Here,” she said as she handed me four books.

“What do I need to do with these?” I couldn’t help the smirk that tugged at my lips.

“Pick a table and a chair, sit there, and read those. I just want a moment of silence, but that doesn’t mean you need to leave and go back to Kalmerus.” “Oh.”

“Questions?” She asked, raising her eyebrows, and I just shook my head, my mouth pursing to suppress my smile this time.

I had many questions, but if she needed time to gather her thoughts, then I would give her the time she needed. I was sure it wouldn’t take an hour.

I picked up the books she gave me and sat somewhere I could see her.
