Chapter 72

I spotted Rebecca who was alone and staring with empty eyes at the bright sun.

"Why it is such a nice day?" She muttered. "It should be horrible."

I wasn't quite sure what she meant at the time. I didn't understand her underlying feelings. But, I had the sense to tread carefully.

"Hey, Rebecca." I said. Then again loud enough to break her out of her withdrawn state.

"Hello, Sorcerer."

"Damian. I saw Galen as a friend. He saved my life. You can use my name."

"Damian." She said, but nothing else.

"Have you eaten?" I asked, trying to fill the silence.

She shook her head. "I am not hungry."

I bite back the words to say "You should eat."

Tara, however, said them instead.

Rebecca nodded with a glum, ashen face. Somehow, I doubted she would eat.
