Chapter 56

I had tried within the past few days to forget about my discussion with Ezra in order not to spoil what I got going with Keanu. Now that he was standing in front of me, it all came crashing back.

I may not know what to do but I’m certain that following Ezra was the wrong thing to do. I can’t do Keanu like that, not when he was doing his best for me and I was a fool keeping this from him in the first place. Ezra was definitely up to something or maybe not but I’m not going to fuck around and find out.

“Well?” He was waiting for an answer.

I took a deep breath. “I did, and I decided to stay back here”

He was expecting to turn him down, I could tell from the way his eyes widened. “You don’t think I meant what I said?”

“I don’t know what to think anymore, but I’m more confused about why you want to help me all of a sudden” I threw my hands in the air.

“I told you, I’m all about the good of my people”

“That is hard for me to believe, not with everything I saw when I was at Eldamore”
