Chapter 45: Fearful Reveal

My insides are burning up with laughter, the corners of my eyes crinkling as I double over and wince a bit from the pain that attacks my abdomen.

Serene is huffing and glaring at me like I've lost my mind and no matter how much I try to stay serious and look at her face, her expression is just hilarious.

"Eirlys, it's not funny. Do you know what he out me through?" She asks, annoyance dripping from her tone.

I shake my head and cover my mouth with my face to stop the next set of laughter that sits on my tongue. Her eyes are bloodshot and her nails are chipped because of the hard scratches she left on Theron's body.

"Eirlys Grayson!" She calls out my full name and I still, my face draining of all unseriousness as I seize laughing.

Serene only uses my full name when she's irritated or being extremely serious and everytime she does, I know she's had enough of my plays.

"I'm sorry." I apologize with a stoic face.
