“I have. I always thought that it was weird. Oh, no!” I cover my eyes with my palms. “I told Asclepius that I was in love with Leo.”
“I know,” he says quietly, his poker face revealing nothing.
The silence in the room stretches into an eternity, and when I realize that he doesn’t have any intention of saying anything more, my heart races.
“You must have thought I was crazy, but there’s no need to feel guilty for not loving me back.” I swallow. “That was before I found out about...”
“I know,” his lips presses into a thin line.
“I can’t believe you made me come to campus with Asclepius.” I manage a grin, desperate to steer the conversation in a different direction. “You put me through all that when you could’ve just shifted? Wow!” I chuckle nervously.
“I’m sorry,” he breathes.
