"I don't want to talk to him."

Julia tried to shrug off the hand he'd placed on her shoulder. It might be cowardly of her, but she'd prefer to pretend her uncle didn't exist. Five years was not long enough away from him. Natalie and everyone who knew her here, thought she was a decent human being. She couldn't bear to see disgust in their eyes when they find out who her family was.

Zurian deliberately placed his other hand on her shoulder, cocked his head, and seemed to listen. "He is broadcasting one sentence over and over."
