Chapter 135 Silence

• Even though my silence essentially said everything, it wasn't enough to answer his inquiry. I managed to nod once, and only once, with excruciating effort as I lowered my head.
• Tyrone wrapped his fingers around my arm, pulling me in closer so he could examine every inch of my agonized face. "I knew it! Taylor always said you were going through a really hard time but refused to elaborate. I just thought it was some stupid girly drama and let it pass," Tyrone replied. His expression was so twisted with pain that it brought tears to my eyes. "We were close, Sera. Even before all this bullshit, even before Taylor got ill, even before I broke your heart...we were close. Why didn't you trust me? Why didn't you tell me?"
• It was very difficult to maintain eye contact, so I lowered my sight and concentrated on my chucks, examining the dirt's gloss and how it coloured the white canvas until the subtleties were lost. I blinked the tears away, but my vision grew hazier again in an instant after being slightly sharper.
