Chapter 37 

Darius watched me for a second before taking his seat.

“Who were you looking for?” Darius asked, and I looked away from him.

“Someone I used to speak to through a chat link online,” I answered, rubbing a hand down my face. When I looked up, Darius had leaned forward, bracing his arms on elbows.

“So you were seeing someone?” I shook my head.

“I never met them, I am not sure who they were, but we talked for years from the time my grandmother died,”

“A man?” Darius asked, and I shrugged.

“I am not sure. We became friends. That’s all I know, I never met them, or saw them, not even picture I have no idea if they were male or female, could have been anybody,”

“I gave up after a few years, it wasn’t on any map, and I figured they gave me a fake name for that too,” I shrugged.

“But you have heard of it, so it must be real?” I asked, wondering if I was indeed sent on a wild goose chase.

“It’s not on any maps because it isn’t a town or city; it’s the name of a place,” Kalen answered, and Darius growled at Kalen.

“What sort of place?” I asked but one glare from Darius prohibited him from answering. Kalen looked down at his hands and picked at his nails.
