Secrets and Lies

Louie thought about what secrets Rhea could be hiding from him and the reasons behind it. He decided he was going to wait patiently until she felt comfortable telling him. He also made up his mind to speak to her on his birthday about who he is. Louie stared at Rhea who had released her breath again.

He should leave. He thought. He shouldn't make Rhea uncomfortable.

Louie stared at her for the last time before leaving. He met Reece on the way.

"Have you confirmed we did not hurt her, wizard," Reece said.

Louie was surprised. How does Reece know that he is a wizard? Did Rhea tell him that? Louie shook his head. Rhea would not have told him.

He decided to ignore Reece. He won't admit being a wizard to Reece.

"Hey! I am talking to you," Reece said almost in a yell as he flicked his fingers across Louie's face.
