I was about to follow the young girl and Mr. Jhin as they stopped in front of a red, Land Rover waiting outside the temple's gates, when Mark grabbed my arm. jerking me back.
:"No, Angie, don't do it. you're only going to waste your breath."
" but Mark, i can't let our efforts be wasted. that isn't fair. we came all the way from Umbria, nearly got ourselves killed for this test and we're just gonna give up?" i thought he was going to star yelling at me again or even make sarcastic remarks about how it was all my fault.
to my surprise, he just raked a hand through his curls. his sigh seem to come from the depths of his being. then finally shook his head.
" it doesn't matter. you've already tried. i don't want you shaming yourself for something that we cannot change. it's over Angie. it's over." for a fleeting moment, i felt a strong sense of anguish rolling off him, before he slowly, and completely, withdrew his mind from mine.
somehow, i didn't know what affects me the most. that he had given up, his shutting me out of his mind, or the mere fact that he was hurt because of me, because of my stupidity.
