"I am not lying," I try to deny but he is not having it. I hate that he can read me so well. I hate that from just looking at me he can tell what i am thinking. In my head right now, there is sadness and fear. No matter how brave I try to be, a part of me hopes this won't be the last time I see him.
"Then let me come with you, if you are being honest." he lets go of me completely and walks over to a chair. I watch him grab a small towel and wipe off the sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Why can't you just trust me for once," this is me guilt tripping him.
"I think I should be asking you that," he says with an eye roll.
"Stay here, protect your people," I advise.
He walks back to me but stops midway "You are my most important person and you are lying to me right now."
"You promised to trust me,"
He nods "I don't trust you right now."
