"Norman?" I noticed he had been staring at the empty wall for a little too long. When I called his name, he finally gave me his attention.
"What’s going on?" I asked, watching him give me a faint smile.
"Nothing, everything is fine," he replied, clearing his throat but clearly looking uncomfortable.
"Tell me," I insisted, and he began to turn on the couch to face me.
"It’s about Emmet," he said, his arm reaching out and his fingers gently touching my cheek. "Back when Maximus was under the pressure of his curse and Emmet had gone after him, I remember Emmet accusing me of killing Azura. He never brought it up again, but it stayed in the back of my mind. I didn’t realize he had blamed me for her death all this time."
