“I wouldn’t lie. But it’s probably best if you don’t ask until you’ve already made up your mind. Knowing the answer doesn’t really make anything easier anyway.” I tell her. She considers me

for a moment then nods.

“I guess so. But you would warn me if I was making a really bad choice again right? Like last time?” She sounds very young and scared.

“Of course.” I assure her.

Only seconds later she gets a message back. She reads it with a small smile and I decide not to push her about it any further today. I’m burning with curiosity about how their

relationship unfolds from here, but I’ve learned my lesson about interfering in the past. I might be able to see fate but that doesn’t mean I should meddle with it.

Megan and I spend what’s left of the morning vegging out in her room, watching TV while she occasionally points out the potential benefits of me staying permanently. More time together, sharing clothes, not needing guards just to meet up to hang out at home. She is just

Maybe we should start having meetings in the living room where there are more seats. Aaron leans against the wall in a corner. Darrien is hovering near the doorway, probably hoping Megan will turn up. Shaun decides to drop down and sit on the grey carpet with his legs crossed like a kid in school. Bellamy paces the room before stopping next to me. He

He demands. He makes eye contact with each of the men individually until they are all forced to look away. Alex looks away the fastest and he looks the most uncomfortable. Shaun shifts a little closer to where Alex is sitting, almost defensively. The blue thread floating between them. I was definitely right about them already being good friends. Alex is clearly nervous with how Bellamy is acting and his friend is trying to
