Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 213: Persuasion

Drystan's POV

I willed myself together as I stared at Astrid, who was standing in front of me.

"What is it?" Astrid breathed out in a whisper, wondering why I asked her to talk to me in private.

I swallowed hard as my mind went blank. All the things that I wanted to tell her, all the questions that I was hoping to ask her, had fully vanished from my mind.

I could only stare at her, not even remembering why I had called her out here.

"H-How are you?" I asked her the first question that came to mind.

I instantly felt embarrassed. I felt like I had just asked her the most stupid question I could possibly ask.

"I'm fine, but I don't feel excited as I ought to be," Astrid answered without judging the awkward mess that I was.

I watched as Astrid tilted her head to the side, her eyes deepening in thought.

The corners of my lips lifted in a small smile when I saw her falling into her usual mannerisms. Ever since I met Astrid, she has always been like this. When I ask her a question, she sometimes thinks deeply, and for some reason, I like watching her ponder something. "Why did you come here? What do you want to say?" Astrid suddenly lifted her chin up and asked.

I abruptly opened my mouth in surprise when Astrid suddenly pulled out from her thoughts and asked me a question.
