Mish's POV
"How could he not tell me?" I seethe to the wind as my feet stamp through the forest.
Preka is in my mind yearning for me to go back, to find him... to let him explain.
But I can't... I just can't.
Something feels off, like he is hiding something just beneath the surface.
I keep pushing it off as just my own anxious thoughts, but he lied to me... he lied point-blank to my face and didn't bat an eyelash... so what else is he hiding?
"What's got you so deep in thought?" Owen asks, making me jump as he sits down beside me.
Sorry" he smiles, "I didn't mean to scare you".
"Oh...." I mumble, "Oh I'm sorry, I just didn't hear you".
"Are you alright?" he asks, looking me over.
"Yeah... yeah" I nod, looking down between us to clear my thoughts before looking back up at him wit
