Chapter 39: Beware
I slept a dreamless night, or perhaps - darkness was all I saw in my dreams.
When morning arrived, Cassian was already there - silent, composed, pretending not to notice the dark crescents under my eyes. As helpful as he was, I was disappointed every time I saw him. For the sheer unfair fact that he wasn’t Luc.
"Morning, Miss Roen," he said, either not noticing or ignoring my less than delighted morning face at the sight of him. He placed another folder by my breakfast that Elune must have prepared.
"You have a finance review at ten. Afterwards, a one-on-one with Councilor Vale."
"Isn’t he your father?"
"Luc approved the meeting," Cassian added without answering my question.
"Luc approved it?" I was a little surprised.
Was she even around? How could she approve anything?
"She left the note last night."
That surprised, and disappointed me.
So she could get Cassian to deliver the note, yet couldn’t find time to come see me.
