Find Me In Your Labyrinth pdf

Xavier furrowed his brow, “I don’t care about it, so why should anyone else?” “But I care!” Norah’s eyes suddenly reddened, her voice choked with emotion, “I could hardly sleep last night, worried that Zachary and the others wouldn’t know how to take care of you. I dreamed you were standing in front of me, covered in blood!” Xavier was taken aback at the sight of her tearful eyes, a tightness in his chest leaving him speechless. Turning her head away, Norah took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling with either anger or sorrow. He passed her a tissue, speaking in a calm tone, “Norah, how many times do I have to tell you? We’re from different worlds. Our childhoods, values, perspectives—they’re all different.

If we meet again, I’ll still treat you like a sister.” Norah’s voice was choked with emotion, “I know you’re right. You made it clear before. I hated your past so much, I swore I’d never see you again, to forget you! But what can I do? I miss you so much, I want to see you—it’s driving me insane!” Her tears fell
