After my confrontation with Lucian, everything between us changed.
Not openly.
Nonsense that can't be heard by anybody else.
But I noticed it.
The distance.
The caution.
How he now listened to me more attentively when he talked to me.
And the way I saw him support.
We remained together, all the same. Continued to attend strategy meetings. The movements of Shadowfang were still talked about and so was the gathering that was coming.
There was some mistrust between us.
Thin.
It's all too easy to break if either side makes a mistake.
There was no reference to the child for three days.
Lucian was silent about the subject.
I didn't ask anymore.
Not because I lost the will to go on.
However, I knew that asking direct questions was no longer effective in obtaining answers.
In orde
