Chapter 42: Acceptance

The drive back to Bloodrose Court was a silent one, filled with tension so palpable you could almost cut it with a knife. It felt like my and Ezra's relationship was at a precipice. It was like someone could come up at any moment and snip the fine line that tethered us together, unraveling everything. Unraveling the tenuous bond between us.

I sighed at the thought as we pulled into the drive. Ezra looked at me out of the corner of his eye but said nothing. I wondered if he could still sense my flickering emotions and if he could sense my thoughts along with them. The idea made me feel apprehensive, but I quickly took a calming breath. That was a bridge to cross when we got to it. There was no sign that he could pick up on my thoughts, along with my emotions.
