"You are right about one thing," I said after a moment, thinking about everything that happened in the space of two lifetimes. "And that is something I never thought I would say."
I really did hate admitting it.
Saying that Meilan was right was like trying to swallow a chicken bone the wrong way...it stuck in my throat and threatened to kill me if I didn't fix the situation fast.
It also left a bad taste in my mouth... but everyone here knew that Meilan was going to die. I might as well give her what she wanted to hear.
Meilan's expression changed so quickly that it almost made me dizzy.
One second, she looked furious enough to bite through the vines holding her in place, and the next, her lips curved as if I had just handed her a crown and told her that she really was the center of the universe.
