Rafe's POV
I didn't wish to hurt or make her cry by showing her these messages. All I wished for was to know the one she loved, and still loved, though she tried to pretend otherwise all these months.
I found out about them when I was going through her phone, but I kept it to myself as it wasn't my place to meddle in. When I found he was still writing her messages, my resolve of not saying anything became even more firm.
I didn't want to take it away from Jason. He was one matured person, and so I believed he would sort his things with Eira on his own. And I am glad I made that decision of keeping quiet, as if I knew nothing.
I hugged her firmly. "He will return, don't worry. Kael and Lucian won't just sit there and watch. Be patient."
She shook her head against my chest. "No. I know him. He would… he would just sacrifice himself to sort things."
"We won't let him," I said. "And I am sure he will think twice before being reckless, now that he has you."
