"No, you shouldn't talk to them alone," Maxim insisted. "It's dangerous."
"Exactly because it's dangerous, I don't want you to continue doing this with me," Emmelyn pulled herself together and looked at Maxim sternly. "Let me get off. I will go to Myreen alone."
"What are you talking about?" Maxim asked Emmelyn. "We're in this together. I will go with you until the end."
"No, Max. This is my problem," Emmelyn insisted. "Remember your mother told me I was invited to come to Myreen...? That means maybe we cannot enter because I brought you and Renwyck with me. Maybe I should have gone alone."
Maxim bit his lip. He really wanted to tell Emmelyn that he was serious when he said they were in this together.
He was actually already involved more than Emmelyn knew. However, he couldn't bring himself to be honest with her.
