Capítulo 100: Wait For Me

Mira hadn't expected him to answer, let alone say something like that. Her heart began to beat loudly in her chest, each thud echoing her growing uncertainty. She hadn't allowed herself to hope for anything more from Zamian than what they already had.

Her chest tightened painfully at the thought. It was all too much to think about. If Zamian found someone else, where would that leave her? She had always known this arrangement wouldn't last forever, but hearing him speak as if there might be something real—something lasting—between them made her emotions spiral.
