Codename: Aconite
I take a deep breath, pushing my pain and exhaustion aside, walk back out to Silas, and place the water on the nightstand as I sit on the edge of the bed.
“I’m sorry,” I say, sniffling as I fight back tears.
Silas looks at me, his eyes widening in disbelief, “Are…are you crying?”
“No,” I deny feebly, wiping my eyes on my arm.
Silas yanks me down into his arms, holding me to his chest, “Why is my Dahlia crying?” he gently asks as he softly strokes my hair.
“I was so scared I’d killed you,” I sob as I cling to him.
