Chapter 86

[1750 B.C.]

"You..." Elaine kept her eyes fixed on me "you look different."

I blinked.

"What is it?"

"Different..." whispered sharply sleepy as she leaned her face against the back of the sofa "looks different, like someone who has never been..., but... I really like it."

How should I feel? Offended? Praised?

It didn’t make sense.

How could I look different to Elaine?

I went through all the meetings of Asra and Elaine, all the scenes, one by one and still... there was nothing. Nothing before Asra saw Elaine and Calisto together.

So what? Had I changed between these last days?

I took a deep breath as I thought about it and again, I went over it all mentally.

I had been rude to her at first, but... that made sense, right? She was an enemy, she...

I sunk my face in my hands.

If I wanted answers, I’d have to ask directly, directly to that sleepy little thing with eyes so blue it looked like an endless ocean.
