Delilah’s Pov
As soon as I entered the room, Reyna turned to me immediately, her eyes sharp like she had been waiting for me. She was like, “Are you ready to leave?” and I just stood there for a second because I didn’t even know what to say but the words came out anyway, soft and unsure, “We’re… we’re not leaving anymore.”
Reyna froze and turned fully to face me, confusion all over her face. “What? Why? Delilah, why are we suddenly not leaving? Where did you even go? You lied to me, didn’t you? You said you were going to get something but you went to Malric’s room, didn’t you? What happened?”
I shook my head, forcing my voice to sound calm when inside me everything was burning. “Nothing happened, Reyna. Malric just… he wants me to do a few jobs for him. That’s why I decided to stay.”
