Chapter 154: Her Choice
On our walk to the office a stony quietness filled us, I felt no need to talk because my head was on a toll and my heart was sprinting. I took several glances at Owen but he just had his eyes focused ahead. He said nothing to me ever since we came out of the room and I was getting worried, but I was more worried about the choice I had to make.
I was attracted to Dace in all possible ways. I want nothing more than to be with him, I want nothing more but to see his face everyday. Without him, I feel lost, but his future wife? Mother to his cubs? That was a lot to take in, I mean I still have school to think about and my mom, it was just like Vanessa said I can’t abandon my life but at the same time I can’t let go of Dace either, I exhaled sharply, my nerves were all over the place.
"Owen" I finally found myself speaking but he didn’t answer me. "Owen" he looked at me. "W-What should I do?" I noticed his eyes softened when I asked that question but he quickly looked away.
"You know what I want Emma," he said in a simple tone and it was heavy with so much emotion and then he looked at me, and I wished he didn’t because I saw everything before his eyes, loud and clear. He stopped and so I did too without taking my eyes off him, he finally looked away.
"This is about you, not me" he opened the door, he sounded almost like he had given up? "The choice is yours" he gave way for me to step into the office, I was hesitant until I did. My breath shaky and my heart slamming so loud, I looked back and forth at the company we had.
Oliver on his seat, Elias and then I locked gaze with Dace, he looked calm than he was before, almost like the first day I met him, he never took his eyes off me as I made my way to the center and I didn’t too, he watches me closely with hands in his pocket jeans. I didn’t wanna look away.
"Emma"
I broke gaze with him and met Oliver’s, he looked so much like Owen, like an older version of him.
"You have only been in the supernatural world for a few months... there are things you understand, yes?"
