The Assassin's Weakness: The Confradia Assassins 1

<p>I don't know what to do. This morning, we both woke up and began our day as if we were strangers. We barely talked. Everything out of our mouths was a polite, "thank you" or a "yes" or "no." I'm still wearing one of his shirts and my boy shorts. Every time I turn around, I feel his eyes longingly follow me across the room. Before he leaves for the day, he places a gentle kiss on my forehead and whispers, "I love you."</p>

<p>I don't reply. It's not because I don't love him─ because I do. All I know is that I'm confused, and I need someone to talk to. I called Adrian last night to tell him that I was okay. He cried in relief. And I promised to meet him for lunch today, but I didn't want to leave, so I invited him to come over. He should be here in a couple of minutes. When I told Gideon, he just nodded and told me to help myself with anything I need.</p>
