The anniversary

Aspen and Maxon

( Maxon pov )

" ok please send him in " I said quietly. I was speaking with Aspen today. I wanted to get his view on what happened.

He walked in with handcuffs around his hands, a guard was beside him, edging him toward the table. He sat down.

" you can go now " I said to the guard, he bowed and closed the door, leaving only Aspen and I in the room. Alone.

" okay, Aspen, let's get started. Where did you say Anne was last? " I said

" she was at my house, she took Lucy, before she left " he replied, still facing down at the floor.

" did she have any marks on her, or was she wearing anything that looked suspicious?"

" she had a southern rebel mark near her neck "

" interesting..."

" okay, I'll have a group of guards go check your house " I looked at my paperwork.

" before I leave, can I ask you something? Personal."

" sure "

" did you do it. Shoot me. Because you still loved her. America~ I mean?"

" No, I thought you too were so happy together. I was happy with Lucy. Until the incident..." I saw a tear roll down his face.

" okay, well, you can go now " and just like that Aspen left.
