Chapter 26

I knew that I should have said something to this man, even if it was just to kiss off, but there was nothing to say. What we had witnessed was nothing short of a miracle and in my experience, miracles were never easy to explain. So, all I did was stuff the rock back under my shirt and said nothing.

I could feel Louis’ eyes on me as he sat hard in a chair in front of me. The silence was almost overwhelming, but I let it continue since I couldn’t figure out anything to say.

“You’re not gonna tell me what happened, are you?” Louis said finally breaking the quiet.

I looked at him with a dead stare. He was smart; he took the hint and dropped the subject albeit very unwillingly. He stood up and shook his head then proceeded to look at my leg once again as if nothing had happened. It was odd trying to relax with this man looking me over; I kept waiting for him to jump up and attack me for the necklace.
