Chapter 78 ~ I Don't Fancy Smiling

{Isla’s POV}

I turned around to meet his eyes.

The last time I had seen them, they had fear and angst in them but now, they seemed calmer.

“Isla.” He said my name as he retrieved his arm.

“Ralph...” I managed to mutter.

He had a sad look on his face that irritated me.

I don’t want the pity treatment. I’m not weak!

This incident makes me stronger than it makes me weak. My Dad would want that. So I have to be strong for him.

“I’m sorry.” He said and I forced a weak smile.

“I’m alright, Ralph.”

It was surprising that out of everyone, he’s the only one I’m given this much audience to.

But I’m done. I started to stroll away. But then he called me again.

“Isla…”

I turned back around.

“I know a lot stands between us. A lot of odd energy, past issues.. a lot! But I just want to let you know that if you ever need someone to talk to, this jerk is always here for you.” He said nicely, and I smiled.

Genuinely this time.

The last one had been skillfully faked.

“Thanks, Ralph.”
