"Welcome back." Geofrey spoke, drawing my crazed eyes to him. "Are you alright?"
Taking in a few deep, calming breaths, I tried to catch my breath.
"I'm okay." I managed to rasp. "I just wasn't expecting..."
Eyes widening, I stopped talking, realizing that I was about to admit to meeting Elias. I couldn't let anyone know what happened. Otherwise, I would be in a lot of trouble.
"Expecting?" Geofrey urged, curiosity coloring his expression.
"My death." I lied, hoping that he would buy it.
"Did you at least go out in a blaze of glory?" He asked, seeming disappointed with my response.
Feeling a surge of annoyance rush through me, I held back my initial response.
