Selene POV
[Warning: Chapter contains descriptions of non-consensual sexual activity]
[Present]
"Selene…" Xavier was shaking my hand when I came back from my reverie. He had a worried expression as his face loomed over me. "Are you alright? You spaced out for nearly five minutes. Does the question bring back sad memories? Do you want to talk about it?"
I felt my throat tighten. Even though a few years have passed since the plane crash, I've never spoken about it, not to anyone. Even though Kragen didn't ask me to keep our pact a secret, I couldn't bring myself to bare out the truth, at least not now. Although I had a well-thought-out story regarding how I survived the crash, I still couldn't say it out loud because this was the first time someone was asking me about it.
