You

»So...What do you want to talk about first, Sweetie?«

»After Magnus told us about our past...Is there anything you remember?«

He sighs and crosses his legs. We're sitting next to each other on the couch in the living room.

»No. Unfortunately not. What about you?«

»No. Nothing...I still don't know if I can believe his story. He's clearly insane...«

Sylus nods and takes a sip from his wine.

»That's true, but the story seems...legit, if I'm completely honest. It makes sense...«

»He said my...grandma gave you to someone else. Philip, correct?«

»Yes. He raised me and taught me how to control my emotions and actions. I was...a wild child...«

He smirks, but my mind is pulled back to the moment in this cage. He totally lost his temper there, but he was still able to calm me down.

»And he never told you the story of how you came to him?«

»No. He said he adopted me after I had an accident as a child.«

»So...we've both been lied to...«

»What did your grandma tell you?«

I sigh and think back to my childhood with my foster grandma.

»Well, as you know my father sold me. Apperently to EVER. I remember the time before and the time after, but not what happened during the experiments. My grandma said she was a nurse in a hospital and that one day I was brought there by someone and she took care of me. That they tested my health status and found the aethercore. That's all. She never said she worked for EVER...«

A pregnant pause fills the air, both of us in our own minds thinking about everything.

»You said she died last year?«

»Yes. Cancer.«

»I'm very sorry for your loss, Sweetie...«

»It's okay. I had a wonderful time with her. We were happy...«

Suddenly, he grabs my hand and strokes it gently.

»Remember those happy times. Don't let this new information ruin your precious memories.«

I stare into his eyes and once more I feel so glad to be around him.

»I won't. What about Philip?«

»The old man still goes on my nerves every now and then...«

He grins and intertwines our fingers.

»He has a mechanic workshop in the N109 zone. Maybe we could visit him when it's safe again. I told my men to have an eye on him as well.«

»That's good. And I'd really like to meet him...«

»He will like you.«

I smile at him.

»Why do you think so?«

»Because I love you.«

I gasp over his unexpected words.

I wasn't prepared for him to say it again in this moment.

»Oh...«, I mumble.

»And you have quite the temper. You can hold your own against me. That's something he most definitely will admire.«

»That's right! Don't mess with me...«

I proudly hold my chin up what makes him chuckle.

»Never. But you can't blame me for teasing you some times. You're reactions are too adorable...«

»Pff. Shut up...«, I retort but I blush a little and try to hold back my smile.

»It's late. Let's go have some fun.«

He stands up - apperently, the conversation is over for now- and holds his hand out to me.

I never say no to some fun...
