Two weeks had crawled by since I took the ESA entrance exam. Two weeks that felt like two lifetimes.
I scarcely managed it through each day that passed.
Every day since my exams, the brothers would leave for ESA to carry out their teaching duties. I felt lonely, locking myself in my room after breakfast, only daring to go out when the brothers returned.
I had been afraid of bumping into the Luna, so staying out of reach was the best bet.
Last night, I barely slept. I lay awake, eyes on the ceiling, heart thudding painfully, twisting the sheets between my fists until dawn.
When I finally drifted off, it was only for a few hours, and I woke up with my nerves raw and my head heavy.
And now…
Lennon sat behind his sleek black laptop in the study. The morning light streamed through the tall windows, catching in the silver of his wristwatch.
I hovered beside him, trying not to wring my hands. My heart felt like it might actually stop with every breath.
