---POV Res---
I looked around the room and Ayden and Tim looked like they were thinking about how to take this. I’m just glad they were buying this story. All of it was true, of course, but not all of it was told. There are some pockets I would like to keep in the dark. Wes looked perplexed and Faron quietly petted my leg while Ayden’s brow furrowed and Tim looked like he wanted to punch someone.
“So this was just an excuse. They wanted a public stunt to get rid of you for good. All because of their own mistakes?!" Faron scoffed as his emotions remained unphased. "I’ll burn their wings off.” He stated with a coolness I wasn’t expecting. I couldn’t help but smile. I was glad he could be so open and protective of me now. It was nice and reassuring. I don’t need my family when I have him.
