LUKE’S POV

“What the hell even happened to you anyway? You had a fight with some thug, or something?” Ariel laughed, indirectly making fun of me.

“That’s none of your business,” I told her, turning my face away.

“Was she the wife of Sir Reynold?” Ariel queried.

“Yes. Yes she was,” I answered, nodding slowly.

“She died before I came into your life, right?”

“Yes.” I nodded. “And this was just how she used to act. The way you behaved moments ago.”
