My heart thundered as I read the text again. The chat popped up, indicating he was sending me another text and I swallowed a nervous breath. His forgiveness had been something I wanted, but I didn't think it'd be like this. We hadn't talked in almost two weeks.
Syn: I'm sure an apology from me to you is also long overdue...can we meet? 9:01 p.m.
Me: Right now? 9:01 p.m.
It was getting pretty late, he usually-
Syn: Yes. I miss you more than I'd like to admit. 9:01 p.m.
I was stunned into silence at how quickly he responded to my message. Even if it was the simplest text, Syn was horrible with responses. You could ask him the time and he'd lag as if his phone wasn't right in front of him. It was infuriating, yet right now I didn't even have time to think between his replies...maybe he was really serious-
Syn: I need to tell you something. 9:02 p.m.
Me: Are you sure we can't call? You usually hate when I'm out late, no? 9:02 p.m.
Syn: No, I need to see you face to face. As for you being out late, I can make an exception this once. Come to me. Syn: Please...? 9:03 p.m.
Me: It's really unlike you to spam. 9:03 p.m.
Syn: What can I say? I'm desperate for a reunion, Princess. 9:08 p.m.
Me: Why not come to the palace? 9:09 p.m.
Syn: I'd rather not be there right now. Xavier and I aren't on the best terms. Meet me? 9:09 p.m.
My brows furrowed in confusion as I thought back to the past couple of days. Xavier certainly hadn't mentioned him and Syn being on bad terms. At least not to me...
My fingers hovered over the keys and I bit my lip in deep thought. It definitely went against my better judgement- I thought Syn's as well, for me to be out in a supernatural city when I was...well I guess that didn't matter anymore. There was no longer a lingering threat of me being attacked by some vampire in the city. I could protect myself now...
...but he didn't know that, did he?
Making up my mind, I took a deep breath and sent my response.
Me: Where? 9:12 p.m.
*Syn shared a location with you*
I opened the map to see that he was just a ten-minute walk from the palace. That should be easy enough. A few days ago I wouldn't have felt safe being a human in the Jeradua streets at night, but now I didn't have a care in the world.
Me: What time? 9:13 p.m.
Syn: Right now if possible. There's somewhere I'd like to take you. 9:13 p.m.
