Anu;
"What did those pages say?" He probes, and I look back up at him.
I know he's asking out of worry, but now, I feel naked.
Exposed.
Like every private thought I've ever had is hanging between us.
"I…" I start, but my tongue feels heavy.
How do I tell him that I wrote about the way his eyes linger sometimes? About how I want to understand the kind of person he truly is??
About how I'm not sure if I trust Aurelian, and how I'm scared Ethan has been dragged into some kind of mental mess?
How do I tell him I wrote how I sometimes think he knows more than he lets on?
How the fuck do I tell him that whoever stole this now knows what I think of him… and Alpha Aurelian as well?
"I can't," I whisper shakily, and he studies me for a long moment.
Then something shifts in his expression.
Not suspicion, or irritation… Just understanding.
"Okay," he says quietly, and I blink at him in awe.
That's it?
Okay?
Won't he push? Or make demands?
