chapter 38

Jonah I wait for Marabella to fall asleep before I leave her. She is too scared to touch me, too afraid to even be close to me, and she spent most of the night trying to avoid being near me. It’s almost like she thinks Kyan will jump out and try to take her by force again. I hope Kyan understands the impact of his stupid mistake. I know what his intention behind it were, but it is a stupid move to make. I know he wouldn’t have gone through with it, and I know that without a doubt. I felt his intentions were to scare her. Kyan is trying to scare her away, but that does not make what he did right. He deliberately let the shadows out to take over him. It is wrong and would surely cause a ripple effect. All choices lead to an outcome. And I believe Kyan's attempt to push her away is the wrong approach. When will he see that he is the cause of the damage? He thinks he will kill her. I can tell you now that driving her away is killing her more than any physical death. She hides it well. Mara
