“ I mean. Forgive us.”She tightened her fist. My eyes moved to the figure right next to her. Eyes slant, he stood stiff by her side, his hands dipped in his pockets. I drag my eyes away, my thoughts centered on Godric.“Did he just change his mind?” I thought worriedly. What if it makes me appear like a jealous wife? What's he going to think of me? Once they were gone, and his attention was back on me, I apologized. “ I didn't mean to. It was thoughtless and…”“ Disappointing. I imagined you wanted me home with you and all for you.”I gulped loudly, pulling my eyes away. He chuckled and lifted my face. “ You make me want to make out so badly.”Ahem!I snapped my neck in the direction, and met Victor leaning against the wall by the television set up. “ Brother…”“ You remember me at last.” He frowned and loped outside. “ I think I should go talk to him,” I said to Godric and met a slight pout. “ He can take care of himself.”“ And so can you.” I retorted and a smile made his face

“Fourth Avenue. Hilltop Sanctuary.” I mumbled to myself, fiddling with the hem of my blouse. Somehow, the thought of a missing link in my ex-husband's identity made me question Godric's. And even now, it hasn't left my thoughts.“If it's really his doing, then I must insist you stay inside the house as often as you can. Besides, Ric wants you to begin your treatment today...” my brother said, his voice low and steady. The way his gaze flicked around made my eyes wander with him, but I guessed it was because he was worried about my safety.“I cannot go there today. There's someplace I need to go...”“No. You're staying home,” he reiterated with finality in his voice, before walking away, his shoulders squared with authority and every step even — like a man who had been practicing to fill a role all his life.Once he was out of sight, Stephanie closed the space between us and touched my arm.“Where is that?”“Sorry...”“You wanted to go someplace. Where?”“Oh! That.” I sighed and dragge

“You overheard us,” he said, his voice low and shaky.“You weren't so hushed about it. But I get it, you weren't expecting me to be in Aaron's room at all.”“Celeste—”“No, Godric. You have kept me in the dark about so many things and it doesn't even occur to you that you're becoming more suffocating by the moment, and right now I can't help but feel like a prisoner in your home. You have no idea how that makes me feel,” I said in one breath and exhaled afterward like I had finally gotten a heavy weight off my chest.His gaze stayed fixed on me but he didn't utter a word. When his voice finally sliced through the silence, it was low and hollow in a way that made me regret the outburst.“I'm sorry if my will to protect you suffocates you,” he said slowly, like he was being careful with his words. “I never meant to hurt you. I wish there was a... a better way to say it. And sure, please go ahead. Victor will be here to take you home when you're done.”I sat through the whole conversatio
