They were clearly in a rush and must have forgotten them." He pointed to the devices.
Zayden nodded, his face serious. "That works. We need to know what's going on with her because she could be in serious danger. She's tied to me now, and it's my job to protect anyone who's in trouble."
Leo raised an eyebrow and said, " Now, if I say you something, you'll probably just brush it off and say, 'No way, I don't love her.' But seriously, Z, you've never cared about anyone like you do for her."
Zayden stayed quiet, still mulling over what Leo had just said. Was it really true? Did he actually love her, or was it just a strong feeling of caring?
Noticing Zayden's silence, Leo pressed on, "Look, Z, I've said it before, you're engaged to someone else. Even if you weren't, she can't really be yours. Your lives are too different. You can't live with her like a normal couple; your world is way too dangerous for her. You can't tell her about yourself."
