Chapter 19: Try Again

Chris POV:

Chris felt it more than he let on.

Asa pulled away from him, and he didn’t know why. Sure, things seemed bad at the beginning, with Jacob constantly going after them, but that ended.

They didn’t need to worry about Jacob anymore.

Asa and Chris needed to move forward, they were supposed to move forward.

So why did things get harder?

Chris concentrated on their bond, trying to locate Asa through it. He usually did it second nature, the tug comforting throughout the day.

But it got harder to find Asa, and when he tugged, sometimes nothing tugged back.

Chris tugged again, worry setting in.

He didn’t like when Asa didn’t tug back. He didn't like it when he didn’t acknowledge their bond.

Asa tugged back weakly, a flood of annoyance coming through before it was quickly curtailed. Sometimes Asa let emotions slip through that he didn’t mean.
