Eli looked at Zoey with her gentle appearance and delicate stature. She didn’t fit her looks. He knew she could be ruthless to get what she wanted, but at the same time there was something hidden just under the surface.
“What is it Zoey? There is something there.” Eli stepped in front of her and gazed into her eyes.
Zoey stepped away walked to the center of Merlin’s chambers and looked up at the mid-morning sky that filtered through the faceted glass.
“There is something…something you should know, but I can’t tell you now. Please trust me and I’ll tell you when the time is right.” Her voice was sincere and like always, he agreed without pressing her for mor information.
She had that way with him and he let her do it. Eli also knew he wouldn’t get any information out of her by force—it would have to be on her terms.
