¬Amolet
I immediately panic, the sight of the empty cell consuming me in fear.
¬AmoletI rest back into my seat, looking at Lev who sits across from me.
All the breath feels like it's been drawn out of me, as I slowly stalk back to the table.
The feeling of falling disappears as quickly as it comes.
Cian returned me to the Mortal Realm with no issue, departing without much of a goodbye. The moment he vanished, I ran back to my apartment and demanded to Lev that I was going to take him up on his offer of a vacation...Even if it's getting away for a little while.
I don't waste any time, whirling around to walk quickly down the alleyway and back toward the restaurant Lev is in.Panic wraps itself around my heart that thunders against my chest as I race around the corner, refusing to look back over my shoulder. The brief image of him I got before fleeing is imprinted in my mind, yet I can't quite figure out who it was an where I have heard that voice before.I don't care who it is, I'm not getting in the car with him.

I've been back at work now for a week now, and everything already feel different.Lev and I returned from the Passion Pack without anymore sorted out between us. Mercifully, he hasn't brought up anything about what he said to me. Right now, I want to focus on gaining Cian's attention on Noah's behalf, instead of whether I should be dating my best friend or not.Laying back on the staff couch, I stare at the magazine full of numbing stories and extravagant pictures. Every lunch break has been like for me recently, as I simply wish time would pass by quickly.
