I looked down at the paper and looked back up at Silas.
I took in a deep breath.
"If you didn't send this letter, then how did I get it?" I asked, holding up the letter to Silas's view.
Silas shrugged and cleared his throat.
"I have no idea." Silas shook his head.
My entire body froze.
What the hell was Silas getting at?
"That's your seal." I pointed out the paper.
"Yes, but that is not the letter I had sent to you." He said.
I closed my eyes, unable to believe what I was hearing.
"How would a letter bearing your own seal be fake?" I asked as I rose to the floor. "And how did it somehow get to me if it wasn't yours?"
"Whoa," Silas said, raising his hand at my growing tension. "Calm down, Xaden. We've been friends for too long for me even to lie or betray you."
The tension in the room was so thick I could taste it.
I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself.
I didn't want to believe that Silas had somehow set Jasmine up.
What did he even have to gain?
