Eve’s POV
For a moment, all I could do was stare at his face, nothing had changed, he was still the same man I left behind. I just wanted to throw my hands on him and feel like I wasn't carrying the weight of the world.
He took a step forward, “You’re hurt,” he said his voice breaking. “ You're bleeding again. Wait, you were poisoned?”
“It’s nothing, I'm fine,” I lied, my hand tightening around the blade.
His eyes flickered to my hand, he noticed the blade. “Really? You think you’ll need that for me?”
” I don’t know, Malik,” I admitted, turning away from him. My voice cracked. “I‘m not sure who I can trust anymore.”
He exhaled slowly, raking a hand into his damp hair.“But you can trust me, Eve.”
I wanted to believe that. God knows just how much I wanted to.
“Where’s Morwenna?”
