8. Parents
I couldn't make sense of what my brother was saying.
So Skylar had been Charlotte's mate all along.
I couldn't believe he was still sane after everything he'd been through.
I'm curious how long he knew she was his mate.
"Sky, tell me you're joking me," I asked my brother.
I know it was ridiculous to question him about him; he wouldn't joke about it for the life of him.
I know what goes on inside my brother's head. Right now, I might appear ridiculous in his eyes for not believing his words.
"How can you even ask me that, Astrid?" he exclaimed, looking at me in bewilderment.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I couldn't handle rejection, and it may have gotten into my head." I sighed and shrugged.
"Oh, okay," he could only remark.
I know Sky prefers silence at the moment, and I want to respect that without pressuring him or bringing up the issue again.
We sat there for a while longer, and Sky's gaze was drawn to me.
"Astrid?" he inquired.
