A long gloomy silence fell between them. To Levi, this felt like something he never wished to occur. It was also something he knew he couldn't avoid.
However, it didn't hurt less. Zane popped into his mind then. He recalled how the man had fondly asked him to find him when he needed to cry away from the knowing wyss of his beloved.
Now seemed like the right time to do so. No matter what he says to Arya, she has already made up her mind. Nothing was going to change.
For the first time, he felt extremely grateful to have Zane in his life. Unlike before, he won't have to lock himself away and cry in his office.
While his thoughts were on this, Arya was dreading the day as well. She may be a different person from the one she used to be but she will always shiver at the thought of her past.
Her hold tightened around his waist. This man was her anchor. She didn't know how she would face her demons without him.
