Chapter 90 Zane Reaches Out To Alex

• Alex Pov::
• "Alex. Where are you right now?" Zane's baritone cuts through me like steel through air. Sharp. Resolved. The calm quality of his voice fills me with something beyond relief or anything I have words for. My heart still feels heavy and the emotional upheaval of the past few hours permeates my very soul, but in this instant, with Zane breathing down the line into my ears, I feel whole. I feel unbreakable. He is an unmovable rock and when he is with me, I feel solid too. Shaken, but not stirred.
• "Outside. On the street." I whisper vaguely. I have stopped walking. I am still within sight of the dorm building. I look back and Penny and Tristan are still there, in the shade of the huge tree. But they are no longer paying me any attention. I veer back into the dark sidewalk, I have been walking aimlessly in the middle of the street like a crack head, that was probably why they were staring in the first place.
