. A Taste of Desire
ZAIA.
“I want to make a request.” “Sure, what is it, Val?” “I… I don’t want anyone to be allowed to enter my room without you. Valerie’s request replays in my mind even as I leave her room. She doesn’t even want Jai there…
What is her reason? When I asked her she said nothing, but for someone who doesn’t remember, she made it clear out there that she remembered some stuff. After all, she mentioned a ‘he’ I want to know more, but she’s not in a good frame of mind right now.
I head upstairs to the children’s room and for the first time, I feel uneasy about them being alone with Mom. It’s terrifying not being able to trust those around me. This makes me feel guilty too. She loves me, right?
I feel so… alone. With Dad having to stay behind, it will be on me to protect my children and Valerie. Jai- I can trust Jai and I think I can trust Atticus. I know I don’t agree with every decision he makes, but I don’t feel like he is the enemy.
And then, of course, I have Sebastian. The one I know I can trust no matter what. I’m grateful he will be by my side, right now I feel like he is what’s keeping me going. I need him.
But I’m still not getting anywhere. There are things that don’t make sense to me. I mean, Mom has been here for so long and always supported me… am I being paranoid?
Well, pondering over the why’s won’t help. I learned long ago, one should always trust their instincts….
I check in on the children, deciding I’ll be spending the night with them. I just want to check on Sebastian once more before I shower and head to their room.
even in my own home, I feel uneasy. I check a few of the windows and look outside to make sure the guards are in place before I walk to Sebastian’s
