Chapter 48 A Troubling Thought

ZAIA. My shoulder is aching, and my entire body feels like I have been run over, but seeing him sitting there makes me forget it all. I know I’m not ready to take him back, even if I want him…

I need time. My heart still hurts, but at the same time, I’m terrified, terrified that something could happen to any of us at any time. “Blue eyes…” He says, frowning deeply. “Who has eyes like mine?”
