Chapter 108 ~ What happened?

"Should I pour you a drink?" Luca offers, but I shake my head.

Luca whistles. "Look at you being responsible."

That makes them both pause. I never start conversations like this. I usually keep things buried, neat, and tucked somewhere no one can find them, but something's been cracking lately.

"Get what?" Luca edges me on.

"Athena." Her name feels like gravel in my throat.

"She's been... amazing with Rayen. Like really good to him. He's already sent me

a picture of the gift she just took to him, some Lego game, and he swears it's the best thing he's ever gotten."
