Chapter 59

"I want to take your mind away from all this sorrow, even just temporarily." Jon said. I looked at him curiously. "Let's talk about something else." "What?" I asked, wondering what could possibly remove the angst inside of me. "You never answered my question last night." Jon said. I immediately blushed. "So, Miss Diana Collins, how did you get the bracelet?" "You mean you doubt my superb strength?" I teased. Jon chuckled. "Come on, tell me. It'll keep our mind off this war and the issue with my father, at least for now." Jon said. "On of your Generals was a panelist. Why don't you just ask him?" I joked. "You know they're forbidden to say a thing, now stop stalling!" Jon chuckled. I took a deep breath. I knew that this relationship needed to be give and take. If I was going to need him to open up to me and share with me his trials, then I needed to do the same. The story of how I got my Gold Rank was intimate to me, something not even my friends could get me to tell them.
