Chapter 31 New ties and Connections

Ember's Pov

Ashley was asleep when I got back home, so I decided to wait till morning before I told her about William and the native, as well as the moonstone.

However, when morning came, she was more interested in my late night with William, than she was with my cure.

"I didn't know you and William still spoke to each other after all of this time," she said with bright eyes, and I shook my head, knowing fully well what was going on in that head of hers,

"truth is, we haven't been in contact these past few years, this whole friendship has only bloomed since I came back home," I said and sat in my bed.

"so, it's safe to say that Paris has been holding you back from having good ties and connections." I tilted my head to the side, and shook my head.

"no. My marriage with Paris might not have ended well, but I would rather not blame him for the friendships and connections I didn't keep. I was in love, and for the longest time, it was all I let myself think about. That's all me."
