"We need to talk." Lith said as soon as the door's lock activated a Hush array that would ensure their privacy.
'Nailed it in one.' Kamila inwardly sighed.
"The others can wait until tomorrow, but you deserve to know the truth and to make your choice without feeling the pressure of my entire family weighing on you." Lith spoke slowly, trying to find the best way to share his real nature with her without giving her a stroke.
"When did it happen?" Kamila asked with a pained expression.
"Yesterday. I didn't call you because I couldn't lie to your face and tell you that everything was alright. I wanted to speak to you in person and give you the opportunity to kick my ass if you think I'm worth your time." Lith said.
'Wait a minute. How can she possibly know? Did Tyris warn her or is this some kind of uncanny woman intuition?' He actually thought, blaming his brain for moving slower than his mouth.
