Chapitre 181: Torn

Elias looked over at her as she led him over to his couch to sit down. He sank down into the cushion with a sigh, trying to deflate and relax, but he couldn't.

He felt on edge, like something big could happen at any moment. His life had been like that for a minute now, and he longed for the day that he could just hold Alyssa and relax.

"I… don't even know what to say. Or think. Or do," he said as he stared ahead blankly, feeling her lean against his side.

"You don't have to know. This came out of nowhere," Alyssa said as she gave his hand a squeeze.

"She can't possibly be my twin sister. How could my parents hide a whole person from me? And why?" Elias asked.

He knew that she didn't have the answers, but it was better to ask the air than to keep asking himself in his head. He was already starting to drive himself crazy.
