“It’s fine, Prince. I should go anyway…Stephen will be home for lunch soon.” He looks so sad, and I want to kick Edric for being so cruel and callous. I don’t like seeing him like this. “Why did you do that?” I ask when Cedric’s gone. “Throw that food away,” he says, and starts to turn away. “Hey,” I say, grabbing his arm and pulling him back. “I watched Cedric make it, it’s fine.” “Maya…you don’t get it…we can’t trust these wolves.
