Just as I was about to push it over, a voice made me jump. “Eden, wait.” “Geez, Asher. You know how to scare someone.” “Sorry. But you can’t go in there.” “And why not? The soul room is in there. I have to. We have to get your soul back.” “There’s things in there you don’t want to see.” “I don’t care. I’m tough. If your soul is in there, I’m going in there.” I pushed the statue over and the hidden door creaked and opened towards me. “You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you?” he teased and I poked my tongue out at him. “At least let me come with you.” “Aw. My knight in shining armour.” “It is my pleasure, my lady.” He did a little bow to play along with his new role. I smiled wide and butterflies began doing funny things to my stomach.
