Chapter twenty-five

A few days later...

That night, Moha was right to wonder what the future might hold for them, for in the days that followed, he and Ndeye began to drift apart, albeit for different reasons than they thought. Moha was running away from Ndeye to prevent himself from committing a crazy thing that could drive them apart forever because without understanding why his desire for her had suddenly increased tenfold. He couldn't be in the same place as her without wanting to jump on her, his mind invaded by thoughts that were not at all catholic, borderline insane, and completely losing control, both he and Aras. He had almost taken action the day after Ma'Khady's arrival.
