Chapter 722: What He Wanted Her to Know
Sophia turned to him, her brows drawing together slightly.
"Um... what brought this on?" she asked.
The snow crunched beneath their boots as they continued walking side by side. Around them, pack members moved about their duties, but they seemed distant somehow, little more than blurred figures in the background.
Orion was quiet for a moment before answering.
"I was just thinking."
Sophia waited.
Orion glanced at her, then looked ahead again.
"You carry a lot for someone so short."
Sophia stared at him.
"Excuse me?"
A faint smile tugged at his lips.
"You heard me."
Sophia narrowed her eyes.
"I was listening to you seriously, and you are very close to ruining it," she told him.
Orion's smile widened slightly, but it faded quickly as his expression became serious once more.
"What I mean is that you've carried more than most people ever should."
Sophia fell silent.
