Chapter 23

sylvie woke up in an hospital room, Kage seated beside her bed.

She couldn't remember much. But she knew she'd passed out in the car, or partially passed out.

She could remember being held close by someone, by Kage? She remembered the words "you'll be fine Hell, no. There was no way that had been Kage.

Groaning, she sat up as well, her hand going over her head. She felt a lot better, but her head still ached.

"Is there something I should know, Sylvie?" He asked.

"Something like what?" She tried to hide her nervousness.
