Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 72

Once we settled on the flight, we all get to get to know Musu better. She is originally from Sierra Leone. Her mother is Beta Pierre’s second chance mate. So Musu moved to Lune D’or when she was thirteen. Her accent is so elegant, it’s almost hypnotizing. She tells us how much she has traveled internationally and how much she has enjoyed it.

“I have a question. How many languages do you speak exactly?” Delilah asks out of curiosity.

“I speak seven languages. Krio, English, French, Cantonese, Farsi, Dutch, and Greek. I love linguistics. I find that I’m able to catch on to new languages quickly,” Musu proudly marks off the count with her fingers. I notice Marco admiring his mate but he has a concerned his face. If I had not spent so much time with him, I probably would not have noticed the subtlety.

Hearing about Musu’s diverse background and love for languages sparks an idea in my mind. I tuck the thought away for later. She is a charming woman who is a wonderful storyteller. I can’t wait for everyone else to get to know her.

When we land at the airport, I pull Marco aside under the ruse of needing to discuss training schedules while we wait for our luggage to be unloaded.

“Marco, you looked worried about something on the plane. Is everything alright?” I question.

“1-I think so, Kas. I just…Musu is so smart. What if I’m not good enough for her. What if she gets bored of me. She’s been all over the world. I’m just a glorified hit man,” he mopes, slumping his shoulders.:

We both turn to look at her while she speaks excitedly about something with Delilah. I hear him give a sigh of defeat beside me.

“Marco. First of all, the Moon Goddess knows what she is doing. Secondly, you have so much you can teach her. You have a whole language and culture she didn’t mention knowing about. You have a whole lifetime to make new memories and to travel with her. She can learn just as much from you as you can from her,” I reassure him.

“I didn’t think of it that way. Thanks, Kas. I appreciate the pep talk, he smiles as we head backt o our group.

When we get back to the packhouse, we notice everyone is flustered and on edge.
