"I don't wanna find out, Granny. It's best that I don't, not for him but for me." I pushed to my feet. "Soon all this will be over, and it won't matter either way."
"What do you mean?" she asked sadly. "It will be over...?"
I had no idea when she became invested in the possibility of Ares; maybe it was my feelings I stripped bare for her.
"I mean, when I quit or something."
"You're quitting?"
I don't know how to say this, and explaining the contract was certainly not a wise thing to do.
"I think I'll have that remedy now. I still feel like my bones are gonna crash in on me."
Granny looked like she still wanna talk, but she smiled, kissed my forehead and left.
I released a shaky breath and grabbed my phone to text Reed.
Me: I changed my mind, I'm attending the reunion. Still wanna come with?
