Chapter 129

• I'm suddenly reminded of what an expert he is at masking his emotion. Before our imprint, I noticed it on several occasions and this immediately makes me feel very uneasy. His quick denial and obvious attempt to keep whatever it is that was bothering him from me cuts me like a knife to the back.
• The food in my mouth suddenly tastes like dirt and I've completely lost my appetite in a matter of seconds. Unable to hold his gaze, I look down and try to regain some control of my emotions. I know that it's probably unfair of me to expect him to open up to me about every single feeling he has, but right now it feels like he is trying to hide something from me and that hurts. I've been kept in the dark on so many occasions and about so many things already that quite frankly, I am sick of it. A large part of me believed Edward would be different, but his reaction to my question fills me with doubt and that makes me very sad.
• I can hear his cutlery drop to his plate and the noise makes me aware of just how uncomfortable the silence has grown between us.
