Later that night, I lay on the ground against the wall. Glancing around the cell, I heard footsteps coming my way. Side eyeing the door as a figure appeared in my sight. My mind immediately knew who it was. “Mia, you are not supposed to be here. Why are you here?” I said in a soft tone.

“I sneaked past my servants to come and see you. Plus, I couldn’t sleep.”

“This is a first. I am the one who always sees you.” I wanted to chuckle but couldn’t.

She takes a wooden chair and places it in front of the cell door. Her facial expression was serious as she looked at me with dead eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me? You knew I had the regret, and yet you said nothing. I should have known it was you? Everything you said makes perfect sense. That trailer–”

I wanted to tell her the truth, but I didn't know how to and when. I didn't want to break what we created. I didn't want any of this to happen. Everything I told her was the truth, and my feelings were real. I was scared of her reaction.
