My aunt and I have barely spoken since the archangel encounter. I’ve decided not to bring up my newfound knowledge regarding my parents and her not being blood related, so during our weekly phone conversation, I told her I was working on a big project and would call her when I was finished. She agreed as long as I promised to keep up my Krav Maga classes. Thank goodness she doesn’t know how to text or email ‘because technology scares her.’ Abby and McKenna have been walking on eggshells around me, providing me the space I need to think. Asher keeps his distance too. We’ve fallen back to our respective charge and protector relationship. Though I feel him burn holes into the side of my head during class, I’ve just been ignoring it and usually leave before he can talk to me. After the first twenty times asking me what was wrong, Aria finally got the hint and stopped asking. She just chalked it up to ‘boy problems’ with Asher. That or she thinks I’m just mental.
