"This doesn't mean I fully trust you.”

Stace smiles, busing himself on the other end of the bedroom. I’m only half grateful that Stace is in this room to protect me against Larsen who is somewhere deep in this manor, but since I’m also kind of scared of Stace too, I’m not sure how to feel. There is only one bed in the room, which is thankfully a decent size, so I can avoid touching him at all cost. 

I don’t know what I’ll do if I feel that spark again...I don’t know how much of my resolve will start to melt away.
