Chapter 34

• I stood in the room, breathing. Just breathing. I needed a few moments to settle inside myself. I’d told Daxx I needed to use the bathroom, then had run up to my room and now I just stood here. Pulling the hand guard out of my pocket, I put it on without looking at it. My gaze was stuck on the robe and sash laid out neatly on my bed. Had Rafael done that, or had he given it to Mitz? I didn’t know why I needed to know a small detail like that.
• Shaking my head, I went and sat on the end of the bed. Small details seemed to be tying in together and turning out to be huge things the past few days. I had so many questions right now. It would be selfish to blurt out ‘excuse me, what about this?’ when there were so many serious revelations to be dealt with. I was being petty sitting here thinking only of myself.
• Standing up, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, trying to assess how I felt. My FOS was still low. Opening my eyes, I looked around the room. How was that possible with everything I’d found out in the last twenty-four hours? Any sane person would be running and screaming ‘get me out of here’. I smiled, then chuckled to my own thought. Since when did sane describe anything to do with my life.
