CHAPTER 50
DECISIONS
Are you in love?
It was a good question. Direct, and to the point. There were no hidden inquiries, no false pretenses. It was very simple, demanding a simple answer.
So why was she having such a hard time answering it?
It was possibly due to the fact that she had never experienced anything like it before. She only had two other people she loved, both of which were dead in one sense or another. Another reason, perhaps, could be her independence. She had lived her entire life practically alone; she did not want to admit that this boy had so much control over her emotions. Her pride would not let her. It felt so submissive.
She, however, had no aversion to the feelings he created inside her. The tingling that took place in her stomach whenever she thought of him was not unpleasant. The thought of him in any danger made her breath catch. His mere presence sent her heart racing.
Certainly, that was love.
Love doesn’t normally take that long to find an answer, the voice in her head pointed out.
Kiethara tried to ignore her, but it was to no avail. The scene that surrounded her in her dream today was a luscious, blooming field of flowers. It was not her mother’s meadow; no, this one spread from horizon to horizon. They were all sunflowers.
I would keep him, Tinya continued to comment.
Of course. She wasn’t going to send him away. At least, that’s what she wanted to tell herself. Sometimes she felt he did more harm than good.
How do you figure that? the voice snorted. Every other visit consists of a battle concerning you.
Kiethara could not deny that, even though she very much wanted to. She had to remind herself that Navadar deserved none of the blame for the trials they suffered, as they were all her fault. If being in love was difficult, being in love with a guardian must be twice that.
Just kill Gandador, she said in a bored voice. That would solve at least half of your problems.
