Chapter 88

• Keera
• She caught herself just in time, meeting my eyes. I wished she would continue. Why Grayson what? I ignored the way my heart had skipped at the mention of his name. Ginny's curiosity was clearly written in her eyes as she stared at me. She wanted to ask about Grayson and me, but we both knew now was not the time. She sat with me for a few more minutes before leaving. By the time Nyx entered the room - on behalf of the rest of the council members that couldn't make it, or so she claimed - I was tired of the visits.
• I was a bit taken back when she lowered herself on the seat beside me, the expression in her eyes a mix of concern and curiosity. "Sorry that this happened, Keera." She said gently. "I just know you hate laying in bed like this." She added with a small smile. I laughed because she was right. Was I that readable? "You're quite the survivor," She confessed. "Grayson's quite... impressed." I heard the question in her voice. Her gaze probed mine, seeking answers I wasn't ready to give.
