I hadn't told Marco about the conversation I'd had with his mother, mostly because it wouldn't do anyone any good, and secondly because there was something about her words that just nagged at me.
I hadn't given it much thought back then, but in hindsight, Aurelia was practically begging me—indirectly, of course—to stay true to her son's side.
As if he needed me more than I knew.
As if he was going through something big.
As if his life could be in danger.
This new shift in the tides put things into a different perspective for my brain. Betraying Marco wasn't in the cards for me at the moment, but who was to say that wouldn't change?
And if I ended up switching teams at some point, why would I do that if he was my best candidate to help me see things through?
