"Adrian, do you trust me not to hurt you?" He shut his eyes, I pulled his hand and looked at him, my legs were trembling, Adrian held my hands, and he probably noticed that my legs were giving me away.

He grabbed my hand and led me to a couch outside the office of Zeus. I sat on the leather couch in the receiving room, nervously twisting my hands together. The room felt too quiet, too small, like the walls were pressing in on me. Adrian wasn't glaring at me, his face was soft, as he watched me but he was standing not sitting beside me.

“Are you alright?”...
