When thinking of Aslan, 264ac58e7c Lyla felt conflicting emotions. She wanted to 167a13bbbb escape from him, 8c5206113e but she couldn’t b23ff98017 turn away from 57378131e5 him at the 7725662e8a same time.b66c8488d4ad14f1

From the beginning, it 0d30bb1c12 was like that, it f4e34b4da6 was the reason she 7027c6bbf6 left Central and came 28a85960ca to Ellwood.5a45d178826dcec2

Leaving Tordell Manor after 2d9b169d01 ending things with Aslan 33cc0258f8 was, strictly speaking, running 9eafbfb2df away.735de130d01542d6

She loved him, 3578083744 but he loved 9ee14cfaec another woman.490c752950b8ee48

She wanted to stay 403bef5b62 by his side, but 6766263ec4 he would soon bid a789e77515 her farewell.6fb7a9386149b319

Such thoughts made ed8e333ed7 it easy for 065fbee6ed Lyla to give deb89ce757 up, and despair 151fc0c16b forced her to 249b64095d make a choice. That choice 9a67a84ecd was to bfc1b64bd1 run away.b4a5c95b442a188c

Lyla was the 6a0ffd8d61 first to leave 16e2ff9462 because she didn’t a154f6bf3a want to be 04001e7e8d abandoned by him, 8a59eb0f33 so it was 474915bd18 only natural that 76c306ec2f she wasn’t able d597876fbb to turn her ebb5981efc back on Aslan b9ff3a39aa when he came 9365e3a4d2 looking for her.23d5308b779ecc23

-If you love 24d1ce2d2d Aslan, why don’t 298e909b13 you just accept 6eb6645540 him now that 164c933085 he’s coming to 44b686d7d0 you?70bbf7daea94a465

A devilish a857de54ce whisper echoed 28737c4a0f in the ac3813127c corner of 1766d4de5f her mind.7757529633e227da

Certainly, the 335c9ca65c amnesiac Aslan 8eb5b6b5a3 was different a3d6dafdec from before. He showed kindness 400cef7e2a to Lyla. It was clearly a f4bd033d66 sexual attraction.cdf3778ec84735b6

Getting involved with 3940e8c290 Aslan again without 8c98bb0743 a plan, and 1e10e7ce5e having her world c2f97d1391 revolve around him, c94041c2a4 terrified her.8bfde94e52105f99

She knew that Emily faa8d339a8 was a native of 0c62b9d168 this place, born and 13d040a380 raised here. She had heard 7ac4a74e4d that since her 930920c56d adolescence, she had cbd37f1435 been helping her 64f23607c0 parents at the 42f11e5363 sheep farm.74e41386f1b6ad02
