Chapter 64

Ember's Pov

"and you and I are both done with all of the things that break you, are we not?" William asked, reaching for my hand.

I smiled when he held me, but I could not bring myself to answer truthfully.

I did want to be done with all of the things that broke my heart. But I wasn't sure those things were done with me.

"from your mouth to God's ears, my friend. Because I'm very tired of everything right now." I said with a sigh, and he squeezed the hand that he held.

"So what's the plan, at the moment, with this new mate?"

"mm. not much of a plan to be honest. I'll just avoid him as much as I can, while this project unfolds. Like I said, I don't need a mate right now. The last thing I want to think about is love."

"And then, there's the friendship with Paris."

"Yes, and then, there is that."

He nodded and let go of my hand, and I helped him set the empty tray aside.
