Chapter 74 - Reaching out

Ember's POV

"He was asking me to help find you. Why else would he do that except the fact that he doesn't know how else to? "

"It's okay. You don't have to look like you've seen a ghost. I didn't tell him where to find you, I took it that it was simply not my place."

"Oh." I said softly, and might have sighed, "Thank you."

"and so?"

"so, why haven't I told him who I truly am?"

"oui. If I'm not incorrect, but I doubt there are many people who actually don't. What are you hiding? Or better still, why are you hiding?"
