32-Now is Not The Time

Zane’s POV:

It was pretty chilly in the attic, and we hadn’t moved away from the screen for hours by now. Sitting in front of thirty screens and our backs facing each other’s backs, we kept our eyes peeled to make sure we didn’t miss anything.

We wouldn’t normally do that if it’s a regular storm, but as Akin insisted, this is no regular one. We had to be attentive to every single detail.

But I wasn’t paying 100% of my attention to it. The thought of Beatrice occupied part of my brain. I tried not to think about her at this particular moment, but I couldn’t. Now that the truth has been exposed to my brothers, I wonder what solution they will come up with.

Could it be that we will have to reject her one by one?

I kept my calm until I couldn’t take it any longer. I needed to just get out of here for a moment.

“Hey guys,” I said, taking off my headphones and waving my hands behind their backs.

“Guys!” scrunching a piece of paper, I aimed it at Helel’s head, and he took off his headphones to look my way.

“It’s getting pretty cold in here. I will go grab a beer really quickly. Do you guys want anything?” I asked him without making eye contact with him.
