Kael.
I broke every damn road rule as I raced to the hospital which Zevran had asked us to meet at. But before going, I had sent a text to Caelum— the exact one that Zevran sent to me, so it was no shock when I stepped out of my car moments later at the hospital's parking lot to find Caelum coming out of his as well.
His expression was stony. His eyes had lost every damn spark, and that stupid grin he always had on was nowhere to be found.
His eyes immediately found mine when he got out of his car, and a conflicted emotion, one that was akin to regret, flashed on his face before he marched over to me. "I killed her."
No preamble. No nothing.
In fact, that was the last thing I'd expected to hear from him, and no matter how true that possibly was, now was also the worst time to hear it. I gritted my teeth, forcing down my anger, my despair… my rage, to the deepest part of my soul, and drawled;
"Don't ever say that."
"Why?"
