I didn’t come across Raven as I left for training, which brought a sense of relief. Devyn was nowhere to be seen, leaving mixed feelings of disappointment and relief washed over me. I was still mad at him for not giving me a reasonable explanation for letting Raven into our house.
After training, Liam approached me for a conversation. Seeking more privacy, we moved away from the training grounds to an open field.
“I heard about Raven,” he said as we settled on the bare ground.
“Devyn must have filled you in, then.”
Liam was seated beside me, his hands resting behind him as he gazed into the distance. I enjoyed the feel of the soft grass beneath my bare feet.
“Yeah, he did.”
“Well, did he give you a better explanation?” My frustration was evident in my voice.
The scenery was beautiful, and I felt closer to nature this way, as the sun basked my skin lightly.
