Chapter 202
"You’re supposed to be making up for last night but you have hardly spoken to me since we left the castle. You can not be that mad at me for mentioning those books? If you read and enjoy them, you should not be embarrassed when someone mentions them," Killian said, not putting together what the big deal was.
"It is one thing for you to bring up those books to me but it is another for you to acknowledge that Gina reads them especially when she is present. I cannot stop picturing how embarrassed she was and how quickly she got out of our room. You need to apologize to her when we go home. I know demons have their ways but that wasn’t fun for her. Please," Amelia pleaded with him.
Gina had rushed out of the room so quickly that Amelia had no time to explain Killian had found out about those books on his own.
"If it will make us move past this then I have a problem apologizing. Now," he held her hand to bring her closer to him. "Are things better between us?"
"Nothing was amiss with us. I just felt bad for Gina. I will get her a few dresses and food to make her feel better. It always works for me. So," Amelia looked at the small house Edith prepared for them to use.
When you went from looking at a castle to the house Edith spoke of you really got to see just how really small it was.
"There isn’t enough space for us to run away from each other here. I hope we get to know each other in the time we stay here. We should take the food inside first," Amelia suggested, reaching down to pick up the food Edith asked the cook for but Killian beat her to it.
"Just have a look around," Killian said, picking up the few bags they brought with them. From the heaviness of the one bag Amelia had, one would mistake if she was actually staying here for more than one day.
"I am not weak. I can lift one to help you. Honey," Amelia added after she realized her tone was too defensive but she cringed from the nickname that left her lips.
