Chapter 69 The Key - Part Il

• That night, I lay awake in my bed. Tossing and turning. Him leaving made me fear the worst. What if he can’t return or worse didn’t want to return? What if something worse happens! What will I do if he returns to his old ways? If something like that happens, I don’t know how I will be able to recover. I wanted to believe his words. I wanted to believe everything he said. But something in me was afraid. I was afraid to get my heart broken…again. But my heart wanted to open up to him completely, at the time, was building up a wall trying to protect itself. And the fear of the unknown kept me awake that entire night.
• When the sun was by the horizon the next morning, I was on my way to the garden. The fridge was practically empty, so I took some vegetables from my garden and went to the kitchen. I wonder how he would behave with Sigrún now. And I wonder if he would share all this Anxo. If he does, Anxo will for sure tell him the truth. But before he leaves, I must tell him about Sigrún and Anxo myself. What if he doesn’t believe me? I mean he told me he believes the bond. So, he will believe the truth. Won’t he?
• “What are you thinking?” I gasped as he suddenly spoke up. His breath fanning against the back of my neck. I glanced back with my knife pointed at him and the knife I held slipped. He skilfully grabbed it from the unsharp side from falling.
