"Since they're leaving for a while, I have no choice but to take you home with me." Conrad told me the next day while we were having dinner.
"What?" I asked shocked, looking between him and Adeline.
"I can't just... go! I have a life here now. I have college, I have my studies, everything. I just got settled!" I said exasperated when Conrad sighed heavily.
"I know, Har. It doesn't soundthat good, but I can't leave you here alone, and we both know why." He stated and I shook my head.
"But I can't leave." I whispered to myself, slumping back in my chair.
"Conrad, she's right. She has a life here now. Maybe there's something else we could do?" Adeline tried reasoning with him while my brother looked at me deep in thought.
"I had an idea, previously, but I dismissed it because I knew you wouldn't like it." He said and I leaned forward.
"Does it allow me to stay here?" I asked and he nodded albeit hesitantly.
"It does, but like I said, you won't really lik-"
"Tell me." I urged, hearing him sigh.
"You have to stay with a friend of mine." He said and I frowned.
"Who?"
"Sebastian Knight." He said and my eyes widened.
"What?!" I shrieked, my fork dropping out of my hand and clattering in my plate.
"Sebastian Knight? My professor, Sebastian Knight? Your friend and now business partner, Sebastian Knight?' I asked completely shocked when he nodded slowly, judging my reactions closely.
"Yes, that Sebastian Knight. That way, I'll know you're safe." He said, making me frown.
"Can't I stay with someone else? Sawyer, maybe?" I pleaded but he shook his head.
"Sawyer doesn't live here most of the time, Sebastian does. And I don't know anybody else or trust anyone to keep you safe." He said.
"But he's my professor!" I tried to reason.
"I know that."
"Then you know I can't live with him, and for a few months! What are you thinking! That man is orphic!" I threw my hands in the air.
"Orphic?" He asked confused.
"Orphic, beyond ordinary understanding." I said when he narrowed his eyes at me and Addy raised her brows, while I pursed my lips because I didn't tell him the full meaning of the word.
Mysterious and entrancing, beyond ordinary understanding.
But he doesn't need to know that.
