Aerion
I pushed open the door to my house after my talk with Arya and as expected my parents had come over and Jack was nowhere to be seen giving us space.
I knew what I wanted, and my parents needed to know, too.There was no need to keep hiding things if I wanted to escape the circus.
“I need to talk to you both,” I said, meeting their eyes as I shut the door. I could already see their worried faces.
My father nodded, gesturing for me to sit. “Go on, Aerion.”
I took a seat, but the words felt heavy. Drakos urged me on
“I… I have found someone.” My voice was firmer than I expected. “I’m sure about her, and I want your support.”
Silence. My father’s expression softened, but my mother remained quiet.
“This is about the woman from the ball?” my father asked.
So they had noticed.
