Life before meeting him… how could she explain?
It was as though she was missing something in her life, and now that she found it, she was being asked to leave. Sure, it was only for a couple of days, but it'd feel like an eternity to her.
For the most part, she knew it was for her safety, and they were faced with no other choice.
But for some strange reason, as crazy as it may have sounded, she wanted to stay.
"Can't I just stay?" Madeline asked the next day during breakfast.
Xavier spat out water from his mouth.
"What kind of preposterous idea is that?" Xavier demanded while grabbing a napkin.
"Stay here? At a time like this?"
"Ms Delcour, you really are completely out of your mind," Xavier observed.
"And just to clarify, that isn't particularly a good thing."
"You can't stay here," Xavier insisted.
"Why can't I?" Madeline challenged.
He let out a low growl.
"Are you seriously asking me that?"
Madeline lowered her head, staring at her lap.
