Chapter 31: The Lie Kairo Almost Told

Kairo"Since the day you arrived," I said, and watched the words land on her like a physical blow."You've known this whole time." Her voice had gone thin, disbelieving. "Every training session. Every conversation about Glendale. Every time I lied to you about where I'd been or who I was meeting, you already knew.""Yes.""And you said nothing.""I was waiting for you to trust me enough to say it yourself." The excuse sounded hollow even as I said it, and I watched her hear exactly how hollow it was."That's not fair. You let me carry this alone for six months while you already had the answer sitting in your pocket." Her hands were shaking, whether from exhaustion or fury I couldn't tell.
