Chapter Fifty-Two
“Was it worth it?” Aria asked when they stepped out of The Tower after their tour, they hadn’t chosen the extensive tour with a guide but instead opted for browsing the areas that interested them.
“It was pretty cool, maybe one day we can take the full tour and see what all the hype is about.” She readily agreed, steering them in the direction of a tour bus station across the street from The Tower.
“It’s a pity the Big Ben is under maintenance, it was one of the things I loved the most about the city when I came here the first time. Every time you hear the clock chime on the hour, it makes you realise how much time is wasted in a day, all the moments we take for granted are moments shaved off from our lives.” Aria pondered on the thought.

Deagan was engrossed in replying to emails when his phone rang and Amaya’s name flashed on his screen, he quickly accepted the call.“Well, well, well. To what do I owe this pleasure?” he teased, enjoying it when she scoffed.“Can’t I call my only brother?” Usually, he would have laughed and responded sarcastically, but her comment made his heart pang.“You have two brothers, Amaya.” The words were out of his mouth before he could stop them.

“Can I ask you something?” Deagan voiced after a few minutes of silence.“Sure.” She said without thinking, she felt at ease in his presence, despite the possibilities that came with such a question.“When did you first start seeing Dr van Donne?” She thought back to the first time she heard the man’s name; Dr Alton had referred her to him, insisting that it was a good idea for anyone going through what she was.“Probably within the first week of meeting Dr Alton, he referred me to him, saying that it would be good for me.

Aria looked at the three tickets in her hand, sucking in a deep breath she hoped she wasn’t making a mistake. She wanted so badly to watch Amaya dance, but she couldn’t help her apprehension.“Hey, it’s normal to be worried,” Hazel reassured her.“Is it”?” She looked unconvinced and Hazel smiled.“Honey, facing a difficult past isn’t meant to be easy.

You’re the strongest person I know, it’s time you started believing that.” Aria wrapped her arms around her friend; her words were exactly the motivation she needed.“Thank you for everything Haze.” Hazel hugged her back just as tightly.

His leg twisted and his shoulder slammed into the hood.” He recounted the events of earlier that night.“He must be in so much pain.” Her eyes shut tight in pain; she could still hear him writhing in pai

“Home sweet home,” Deagan commented when Aycin helped him sit on the couch of his new living room, with his family surrounding him stiffly.“Whose house is this?” His uncle questioned, looking around the expansive open-planned house.“Mine, I bought it a few weeks ago.” Aria and Deagan shared a smile.“Why in the world would you do that, Deagan?” Amaya frowned deeply, sending a suspicious look in Aria’s direction.“I needed a place to work while I was here and the apartment was getting a little cramped for the three of us,” Deagan answered truthfully.“You don’t really have a business here, do you?” Maya stated more than aske

“It’s a duck!” Deagan called out, causing Hazel to stop short and send him an incredulous look.“Where in the world did you get that from!” She exclaimed which made everyone burst out laughing.“Uh, you said it swims on top of water?” Aria couldn’t hold back her giggles when the timer ran out.“I said it’s man-made!” He huffed in reservation and looked at her expectantly.“Well, what is it?”“A sailboat!” everyone else chorused, much to his annoyance.“I give up, this game is stupid!” he threw his hands up, pouting.
