Charis
After we finished, we walked together toward the academic buildings. Kael seemed to be naturally escorting me back to class.
We walked together in silence until halfway through, Kai suddenly stopped walking and turned to face me.
"Is there something else you'd like to tell me?"
I arched my brow in confusion, turning to face him. "Something like what?"
"About Headmistress Vale. I know I said I wouldn't push, but I must know what happened in her office today, Eamon. Please."
His question made me wary. I did want to tell him more about the footage from the summer camp, about how terrified I was that my cover would be compromised, about the whip and the threats.
But looking at his face, I couldn't bring myself to burden him with more of my problems. Bottom line is, Headmistress Vale cannot link anything to him because I didn't give her any helpful information.
"There's nothing else to say, Kael," I said, forcing a smile. "I already handled it. Believe me."
