SAROYA
Late this morning, I got the message that the Elders want to see me. The people of Dheluna are still treating us like special guests even though I told them not to bother so I have long finished the meal that was delivered to me and wanted to catch up on sleep. I did not sleep much last night because I was busy attending a dinner. I still don’t feel like I have slept enough when I trudge to my door and push it open. When I step out, I am surprised to find Edin in front of my door and I almost slam it back closed but his hand lands on the door and holds it open. I do not want to admit that I was so blatantly trying to run away from him so I clear my throat and paste a smile on my face, realising too late that he’ll see right through the smile to my anxiety.
“Hey.” I say.
“Hey.” H
