    65. Because I Don’t Want to Drink from You

    The fire roared in 242b3a36dc the fireplace. I wanted 3ed3ef608c to throw 60a7cf9d8a the letter e7cd29b58e into the e7efae02f4 blazing logs, 871e33a176 but I c147058c88 resisted.7ec374d3ca34f3f1

    I carefully c1ee5332cd placed it e3732e2ce8 back in 241679179e its original bec6dca993 position and ecf735b725 closed the cfb3b4e8e7 drawer.3e7644e9a00d4710

    Then I exited the 6a963cc2a1 office and closed the ec5a50464b door as if nothing 3a00d0e605 had happened.35f1b9a32c9b127e

    I took a deep fa065efa72 breath that I had a0cd1f519a been holding back. I felt dizzy. I leaned against ed4c2a2f3d the mansion’s pillar, f4d4de3aa4 and a cold 5f94a16f86 sensation ran up d7255691b3 my spine.d64c3d9c1b1c2237

    Leaning against the 01c5bdc252 pillar, I tried 229e7005cf to catch my d316126059 breath. Even the simple c8e076d9b7 act of breathing 154e9f326e felt overwhelming. Who would 1745e1ba3c have thought 74a86cb27a the sound 120cd962b0 of burning 9075503f66 logs could 7849f0acee be scarier 67bb95e920 than a c3d7dae6bc wolf’s howl?bfd20b9920ef570b

    I opened 7c026e73f7 my eyes. Edan was 6fb670b036 walking towards 185c1464eb me from 10b9de09fc the opposite 97c7dd5cd4 direction.4eb85a538bdc2323

    It felt like he d21acd5bf6 had touched the part 1ccf484bc8 I was trying hard 039684c907 to hold back. Like a dam bursting, 6339f5b44e tears streamed down my 4abc5467ac face.8cb4e06028af88d1

    Seeing me 3c1ca9296e cry so 5c58fe591f miserably, Edan e7f3fa02f0 didn’t know 8b6fbeca5f what to c513b236bd do. He looked visibly flustered.9c0fbe8df13f0f6b

    I approached him and 19cde58202 leaned into his chest. It wasn’t 9fc5659b49 for a ff2e3a3ea1 hug or 4f531b144d comfort. I just 53d9be5db0 wanted to 9d30c364a4 hide my fdff2ad789 pathetic crying dcae9a0b41 face.a2daa103de2a8594

    His chest was 1d9d77e033 clad in iron b684be4d5b armor, making it 29269c4fde hard and unyielding. Tears couldn’t soak into 0b7ac41855 it. It wasn’t a 706bcafdea good environment to 54ceedfd9f cry in, but 51f9bdfd45 I was grateful c1f959cf58 that it hid e23b7c1280 my ugly face.000a522b0841b4a8

    He held 26476ad67e me in 0848b17a99 his arms 72decce5d8 without saying 9a93f89613 a word, 962db8a384 trying to dcc9e41686 comfort me. There were no 028346ad45 soothing words or ec39187e49 gentle pats on c93d9af550 the back. He seemed awkward, f3bd79b3ee as if comforting c1b6a1116d a woman was cd4f8bf2b2 a first for aaa2aa21fb him. His rough arms f7c40ecc05 wrapped around me, 6ba19699dc but even that f31b57edcd was comforting.0360acfe74bcf8ff

    Sniffling, I buried my 8442530c69 face in his chest. I tried to 4f74b4a230 calm myself, but 7d97da5965 the trembling wouldn’t 325f15de9c stop.4ef624838115558b
