Chapter 69

"Care to tell me what you were talking about with your sister back there?" Travis asked as we entered the infirmary.

Looking around, I realized that no one was present, meaning that I had no one to try to pretend to be interested in talking to as a way to avoid Travis' question.

"Could we maybe talk about this another time?" I tried hoping that the healer would enter at any minute.

"Fine." I huffed in frustration. "You already know what happened with Gregory, so I guess it won't hurt to tell you the rest."
