“You seem lost in thoughts; what are you thinking about?” Thane enquired. It was late at night, but my mind was
very much awake, and of course, Thane noticed that.

Thane was very good at reading people, but what if... it was more than that? There was no way he could have
read that off my face alone.
“Thane, | think you can read minds.”
“Does that mean | guessed correct?”
“Yes, and how... how did you do that?”

“No,” Thane says, but of course, even if | was, he would never say that to my face. “I wanted you close to him;
this was bound to happen.”
“So you are okay with... this?” | questioned
“No. I am not.”
That surprises me; Thane was always ‘okay’ when it had to do with Axel
“You are not?” | repeated, stunned.
