But Luna kept shaking her head and backing away.
Of course, how could she accept this?
After all, she had hated me for so many years because of Donavan's death. She even kicked our daughter and my mother with Alzheimer's out of the house on a stormy night, nearly causing harm to both the elderly woman and the child.
Now, after three years, Donavan suddenly reappears, telling her that he never actually died. How could she easily accept this turn of events?
I watched the scene before me with cold detachment, observing Luna's attempts to avoid me while Donavan furrowed his brow and berated me:
"Asher, you're not preventing Luna from contacting me, are you?"
"Three years have passed, Asher, and you're still so petty. Luna and I are best friends, nothing more. Don't be like this."
As he spoke, he pulled Luna into an embrace, comforting her, "It's alright, Luna. I'm back now. I can be by your side again from now on, okay?"
