Chapter 82

Audrey’s POV:

I helped Ian to walk as we both took a stroll in the orchard, for he was still recovering but slowly so from the poison that he had taken.

He was strong but the poison had taken a huge toll on him and that made his recovery slow paced. We talked as we both took precise steps according to his rhythm and rested any time he ran out of breath and seemed too tired to carry on.

I was patient with him because I knew the condition he was in and because he was my friend. After all the hurdles we both had been through, I was surprised that we were able to establish a good friendship and somehow, I was grateful to have him as a friend, it felt really good.

As we continued to walk now in silence for some minutes, I drifted off in my thoughts and Ian noticed that and became quite curious of what ran through my mind.

He almost seemed like he could openly see my train of thoughts like it reflected on my face and so he became concerned as the friend he now was. Pausing for a moment,
