Chapter 19

They were sitting in a coffee shop – quietly. Damen was desperately waiting for her to say anything. His leg was shaking and he was fidgeting with his fingers. Penelope was looking down at the table not knowing what to say. She was rehearsing all the possible things she could say right now. Their order arrived and she looked up at him, their eyes met for a brief moment, and then she again looked away. She slowly brought the cup to her mouth and took a small sip.

Damen had enough of the situation. He wiped his hand over his face and said, "Talk to me… please."

"Talk what Damen? I don't even know what do you expect me to say." She said miserably. "I don't want your sympathies or anything…" She continued but Damen grabbed her hand and began, "Sympathy for what?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
