Chapter 43

"Heaven, I can be the man for you." Zarin blurted. 

Heaven blinked a few times, her brain unable to process what he said. What did he mean? He couldn't mean what she thought he meant. 

No.

He would never. 

"Zarin," She went and grabbed his arm and led him toward the door. "You are a friend to me. You need not be anything else."

She grabbed the door handle and opened the door. "I am exhausted and need to get some sleep before training." 

"Heaven." He grabbed her wrist and stopped her from throwing him out of her room. "We have spent little time lately. Spend some time with me tonight."

Tonight? She was supposed to be with Zamiel tonight.

"Alright." She agreed. 

Zamiel would understand, and she needed to make her friendship with Zarin work like it did before all this.
