104 MORNING TEXT

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.

“It is actually, cause I’m the one who took you back to this house, right on this bed. Well, I did get help from Marcus.”

“Don’t feel too proud. I could have done that by myself.”

“Like I’ve said, that’s none of your business.” I slowly sat on the bed. And then I breathed out deeply, closing both of my eyes.

“Who’s mad granny?”

“It’s just a name, I gave to my grandma.” A frail smile appeared on my face, as I flashed back to the times spent with her, before she passed away.

“Your grandma?”

I nodded, still smiling.

“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.”
