I stop walking. Did I hear him tell me that he didn't want to let me go?
I take a look in his direction, and he was still clearing through the bushes to make a pathway for me to walk.
"Did you say something just now?" I ask, unable to let it go.
He pauses and looks back at me over his shoulder; there is a guarded look of longing on his face before he turns back to what he was doing. "No, I just need to get you back home and find out why the f**k father decided to put you through such a dangerous test."
I want to tell him once more that this is the best time for him to let me go, but I'm not sure that I want to leave anymore. I don't want to be anywhere near Gideon, but at the same time, I don't want to leave Arthur's side. Being around him made me feel things that I've never felt befor
