AVA

"Hello Ava, I called earlier to find out how your recovery is going. I would love to send things over, but I know it would get to Mrs. Hale first. And then to a dust bin."

That had to be the third voicemail this morning and I wouldn't have listened to it if I hadn't fallen for it the first time. Her calls weren't reaching so she tried another approach.

“I knew I was selfish, to want everything to be smooth now, as if nothing had happened too quickly. But when I left the house, I didn't just

  • The Luna He Left To Burn   Chapter 12

    AVAAmina’s question lingered in my mind till morning, yet I still hadn't found a definite answer to it.I'd know if it got there. That was my conclusion. I hoped that would be the case.I woke up quite early today, my eyes catching the rays pouring through the window almost like a calling for my intent."Should I help you with your top?" Amina asked."It's okay," I said, politely refusing. She’d done enough for me in the shower and out.She stood by and watched me dress the rest on my own without comment, which was exactly why I appreciated her. She still gave me that air of independence even though she knew if she got closer I wouldnt bite."I'm ready to join them for breakfast," I said, and I caught her mind somewhere in the distance."Okay, I'll wheel you downstairs then," Amina said. She came out of it quickly."What's the matter?" I asked. Amina always had sharp eyes and I knew her well enough for that. She might know something but wouldn't feel the need to share it unless it wa

    AVA"Hello Ava, I called earlier to find out how your recovery is going. I would love to send things over, but I know it would get to Mrs. Hale first. And then to a dust bin."That had to be the third voicemail this morning and I wouldn't have listened to it if I hadn't fallen for it the first time. Her calls weren't reaching so she tried another approach.“I knew I was selfish, to want everything to be smooth now, as if nothing had happened too quickly. But when I left the house, I didn't just want to disappear or move on. I wanted time to heal things."This couldn't even pass off as a bad joke."Our relationship. I don't know if all I'm doing is too soon, but all I know is I don't want to be too late. I wouldn't mind if you insulted me just to get that anger out. It's what comes after that matters. Please answer when this gets to you."Delete.I was tired of listening to the same thing from her. She was confused, or I would say still vainly optimistic. I was banking on time to hamme

  • The Luna He Left To Burn   Chapter 10

    AVAShe was not far off at all.A direct question deserved a direct answer. But when I actually stopped to think about it, I was. It was not just because of Lucas, though yes, he was part of the reason.That Assembly was going to be one of silent power play. Even though everyone was supposed to understand my circumstances, I was not going to rely on understanding. And even though I was not going to challenge him, I would like to make a stand. Literally.Then again, information was another thing entirely. With how fast things were developing, I was going to need my legs to keep up.I blinked when Amina cleared her throat, just slightly."I'm sorry," I said. "I received your question. I was just still answering myself.""I’d explain it when I've meshed it all up ," I assured.Amina looked like she wanted more of an answer than that, but I was not ready yet."Let's go," Amina said, wheeling me out of the recovery corridor.By the time we reached the dining room, Mother was already there.

    AVA"Eight," I managed, sucking on my lower lip to nudge past the pain. "Nine.""You've done enough," Amina said, racing to my finish line even though I had told her not to."Ten." I managed one last limping step forward before the weight of it caught up with me.If I had seen her there from the onset I doubt I would have been able to take three steps to begin with. At times, one would think to fail when they knew there was a safety net."Amina, if I am going to walk sooner, you would have to tone down on your angel duties," I said, but I couldn't hide the discomfort I felt on my face. It's almost as if those ten steps would keep me benched for another week."I'm sorry," Amina said, looping my arm over her shoulder as she escorted me back toward my wheelchair. "I just didn't want you getting injured again. Going back to square one isn't ideal.""That's why I have the railings," I said. It was the exact reason I had chosen to practice here in the recovery corridor."Yes, but the gaps,

    AVA"Do you want me to stay inside with you?" Amina asked.She was worried. I hadn't said a thing the entire way to the hall and I hadn't meant to turn her curiosity into concern, but these were matters she wouldn't have solutions for. The best she could do was what she had already been doing , offering comfort."You helped me dress, wheeled me out of the house and into the car," I said with a small smile. "What more could I possibly ask of you?""Anything more that you need, Miss Ava. That's why I'm here," Amina said."You don't need to worry." I kept my voice light. "I'm sure this meeting isn't something worth losing hairs over. It's probably because of Lucas." I said that name with the particular brand of dread that came from knowing exactly what kind of mess a person left behind them when they walked out of a room. Thinking about it now. I shouldn’t be taking anything he said at face value. The way they called for this meeting sparked a thought that made me growl. He did say h

  • The Luna He Left To Burn   Chapter 7

    AVAThe security guard looked at me like I had asked a question that wasn't just odd but was completely detached from our current conversation."I thought you would know, Miss Ava," the guard said slowly, his eyes darting back to the gate as if he had let a potentially dangerous man walk free."Maybe he was referring to the meeting going on inside right now," I said. It stung that I had to remind myself about those two backstabbers still in there, but I didn't want to paint Kael up as a villain."Okay, Miss Ava," the guard said. Hopefully he took my word for it, enough to make a good second impression."Please can you wheel me back?" I requested, and he did so, helping me back to where I had been positioned in the first place. The cook came shortly after."Miss Ava, I wondered if you were hungry, so I've made something light. The herbs in it should also help accelerate your healing," she assured me."Fine," I agreed. "But take me inside first," I said, hoping the meeting inside would
