"You can't hide from me?" Arwen repeated his words, her tone carrying a depth of oddity. "I have always found you … even in the darkest part of your life."
And only when she repeated his words did Aiden realize that, caught up in emotion, he had said something he shouldn't have.
But the realization came too late.
He couldn't take his words back now.
Especially when Arwen had already caught on.
He braced himself for the inevitable questioning, expecting her to press him for answers. And she did —except, her question wasn't what he had expected.
"You sure put a lot of faith in me." Her voice was quiet, contemplative. "What if I am not capable of seeing through you?"
Aiden stilled at her words.
For once, he didn't understand her thoughts.
To him, Arwen had never been complicated. He had always been able to follow her emotions, to read her feelings like an open book. But at this moment, he simply couldn't decipher her thoughts.
