Chapter 232 When Words Aren't Mine

• Chase POV
• I stood in the doorway, watching Connie as she processed Kane's words. Millions of emotions washed over her face, and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her head. Her expression shifted from confusion to anger to something I couldn't quite place—hurt, maybe? Thor grumbled inside me, his discontent clear. He didn't like the distance between us, physically or emotionally.
• "There's too much distance. Go to her," Thor urged, his voice impatient and demanding, but my feet stayed rooted to the spot. There was a feeling deep in my gut telling me not to move like an invisible hand was holding me back. Something felt off like someone was toying with me, playing with my mind.
