Chapter 123

Ember's POV

"I had a run-in with Kate. " I said to Jean when we finally met up as planned. He picked me up at work and took me to where we had dinner, and I felt protected and provided for just by being in his presence.

"Did you?" he asked, and leaned backward in his chair, to look at me, "what happened?" he asked, seeming very interested in what I had to say. That was one of the things I appreciated about him. How he showed interest in my life, and he didn't seem to be pretending about it.

But then again, this was the part where I was going to have to tell him about the fallen metal, as well as the fact that Paris had come to see me, and I wasn't sure how he would take it, or if I was prepared for that response. But then again, he already knew a good portion of the story.

"it was at the hospital when I was with Paris. Or, when I was done being with Paris. We met when I was leaving."
