I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t pretend I wasn’t lying to him. It even felt as if I was betraying him. Doing the one thing I should never do.
I had to tell him and I will. Today.
He was my everything, all that I ever needed and what was I doing? Keeping him in the dark…
But I didn’t even know why I was doing it. It was just something inside me that told me to wait. Every time I saw an opening, words wouldn’t form. Held back by this thing beneath my skin. I was weak, scared, but for what?
There was nothing to be scared of.
Okay, maybe he would kill that man, that stranger. And I didn’t want that, but would he truly rip him to pieces if I asked him not to?
He always listened, and this was the proof of it. As Isaac agreed, we were heading west. William, of course, argued, feeling the same as Isaac. Believing it’s a trap.
