Chapitre 138: Rift

Celeste checked my pulse, the silence has been more prominent ever since, Nicklaus haven't said a word to me since he called for Celeste, he was there beside me but he seemed further away, perhaps what we needed right now was some space, that realization just struck me now even though I didn't want to admit it, I had no other way to see it.

Suddenly fed up with the silence before it would get more awkward... I had a feeling that I might lose my mind if I didn't speak and Celeste was overly concentrated on my pulse. I cleared my throat. "I never knew you were such an expert in this," I said.

Celeste smiled, meeting my gaze. "Well, I learn a lot of things since I have the time" she mused.

I smiled, obviously, she had all the time in the world, she was yet to find her mate and didn't seem to want to, I had a feeling she enjoyed more time alone than spending it with someone. I was about to speak again so that I would at least engage in conservation with her.
