Chapter 39 : She Had Not Left Me

*Marcus*

The dream ended, and I awoke with a start.

I almost couldn’t believe what had just happened. But it made everything fit so perfectly into place. Everything that had happened these past few hours. Arealla had not left me.

-Flashback-

I turned away from them and headed straight back to the house. There was no way that I could get the image out of my head. No matter what I did, all I could see was Arealla sitting on the bank of the river, naked. And Jason sitting beside her, leaning in toward her.

I reached our home, and I went through the front door. I didn’t make it further than the living room, and I collapsed on the couch. I put my head in my hand, and tried to force myself to calm down.

There was more to it than this. There had to be.

But what else could it have been?

The last time I had let my mind jump to conclusions, but how was it possible for me to come to any other conclusions right now?
