CHAPTER 28: A Sweet Kiss

　　[Moyra’s POV]

　　I waited as Eli ordered us each a crepe, his with chocolate and mine with strawberry. I had hoped that maybe pretending that I wasn’t bothered by the oracle would help him feel better, but I could still sense his unease.

　　Which part was it that rattled him most? The fact that she said I was going down a dangerous path or that I made the wrong choice? Either way, this was my life and I wasn’t about to let some crazy hag decide anything for me.

　　"Here," Eli announced, taking me by surprise with his sudden return. "Hopefully it will be to your liking."

　　I let a smile play across my face as I extended my senses to locate my fork and the crepe. This way, I was at least able to see the energy around me, allowing me to navigate the world around me as if I could see.

　　Picking up my fork, I stab into the crepe and pull off a piece that has a large strawberry sitting on top of it. Bringing it to my lips, I take a bite and the sweetness of it explodes in my mouth.
