Ethan;
I had to beg Aurelian to let me leave the house. Not literally beg...
At least, that's what I kept telling myself while I stood in front of him yesterday evening with my arms folded, trying to convince him that I was perfectly capable of surviving a few hours outside.
I can still hear the entire back and forth playing in my head. He had looked at me for several seconds without saying anything.
I hated that look.
That calm, unreadable look he gave me whenever he had already decided something and was waiting for me to stop arguing.
But somehow, after almost ten minutes of arguing, I had finally managed to convince him that I wasn't going to collapse simply because I wanted to leave the house.
The only condition he set before agreeing was security.
Two guards, no arguing...No wandering off alone. And I had to tell him exactly where I was going.
I agreed to everything. Mostly because I was just happy to be allowed out.
