EMBER'S POV
I stayed with my grandfather until he felt a bit sleepy, and was thankful when I got out of the house without having to deal with Luna Lara or her precious and beloved daughter-in-law. I honestly did not think any encounter with them would end well, to be honest.
I didn't see Paris either and decided that I was going to have to leave without saying good bye. It was for the best, I supposed, and was making my way to the gates when I saw two figures by the edge of the forest. Two men actually, and they seemed to be at odds with each other.
"to draw closer or walk away?" I questioned myself and had my questions answered when one of them grabbed the other by the collar. And it just so happened that the one doing the grabbing was none other but Paris dearest, and the man, whose collar he was grabbing onto that way, was Jean's!
