Xavier was waiting for me in the foyer. Brutal lines had formed between his brows. His eyes had sunken in somewhat, giving him a hollow expression that I hated to look at. Guilt churned in my stomach, a storm that I couldn't slow down or stop.
"Sutton, can I talk to you for a second?" He asked, his voice a shell of what it formerly was. The sound only served to make me cringe even more on the inside.
Maybe I had reacted a bit harshly, but I hated being left in the dark about things. I should have been more articulate. More aware of the tone of my voice and the threats I was so eagerly spewing.
At the end of the day, I wanted to remain in Brightsun. There was no question about that. The only question that there was was where I was going to stay for now.
"Sure," I said and followed him.
