Chapter 43: The Temple, Part 3

"Listen. We're here. We've been in high stress these past few months, even when nothing's happened. Regardless, that doesn't excuse that nonsense that you pulled. Don't lie to me. Seriously, please don't take Celeste's bad habit of not telling us anything, alright?" Angel said.

"But--" Storm spoke.

"No buts." Angel snapped.

She sat next to him, her head resting on his shoulder. She was exhausted and somewhat relieved that what he was keeping wasn't anything important. Still, she wasn't pleased that he tried to keep anything from her.

"Look...I'm sorry," Storm admitted.

Angel looked up to him. "Why?" she asked him, confused.

"I've been treating you badly," he said.

Angel nodded. "Mhm,"

Storm looked at her. "I just-didn't want you to feel hopeless, telling you that I didn't know what we were gonna do," He said.
