A few days passed and Soren had regained his strength. While I was pleased with his healing process, more and more, I found I couldn’t be as carefree around him as before.
More and more, I had to remind myself to plaster a smile across my lips.
Things were different now– I felt different.
I felt as if the emotions I was going through were almost robotic, and even though I wanted to believe Soren with all my heart, I just couldn’t.
Ethan lied to me… but so did Soren.
I questioned myself over and over. Had everything up until that point just been part of Soren’s game?
Seraphine stopped by and slid the cup of tea towards me. “You seemed a bit preoccupied. Drink this, it will help to calm your nerves.”
I thanked her and took a sip. The hot liquid washed down my throat, slightly easing the tension in my mind.
“Do you know if Soren will be back for dinner tonight?” I asked.
My question brought a grin to Seraphine's face.
