Athena’s P.O.V.
“Hey, it’s okay. I promise you, magkasama natin siyang haharapin bukas. Chief Rey assured me na hindi naman siya basta-bastang makakalaya, so there’s nothing to worry about. Sisiguraduhin kong mananagot siya sa batas. But for now, can we just enjoy the rest of the night, Athena? Please?” nakangiting tanong sa akin ni Cristoff, habang patuloy lang niyang pinipisil ang mga kamay ko.
What he was currently doing somehow made me feel at ease sa kabila nang nalaman ko. My brain floated and my eyelids weighted heavier than the usual, as part of me hushed on pause. My thoughts were trying to catch up, but I was at the loss of words.
Gayunpaman, nakangiti na lang akong tumango sa kanya. Although at the back of my head, I was still thinking of any valid reason kung bakit kinailangan pang sunugin o ipasunog ng taong ‘yon ang Project Charmed.
