Ever My Merlin, Book 3, Chapter 6 - Garden of Eden
Boys, I cursed.
The
train took us closer to the mountains in the middle of the island and up into
the hills and higher elevation. Outside, the dense foliage resembled a jungle.
We passed through a short tunnel, hewn out of rock, and the countryside opened
to the sky. Tidy rows of tea bushes layered hillside terraces of a large tea
estate. At its center, I spotted a stately white plantation.
Matt
shut the guidebook and stared out the window in silence.
“No,”
I burst out. “I refuse to believe that’s your whole reaction.
There’s more to it. I know it. So do you. So what are you not wanting to say?
What are you holding back this time, Merlin?”
He
said softly, “I already trusted you once, Ryan.”
And you betrayed me. The unspoken words reverberated in my
head, cutting deep into my heart. I took a breath, and let it out. “I can’t
change what I did.”
“No,
you can’t.”
He
was making me crazy. I sighed. “Can you for one minute stop feeling sorry for
yourself?”
“I
might if you’d bother to help me fix what you’ve broken, instead of wasting
time admiring the countryside.”
I
glared at him. “Why do you think I’m here?”
“Why
are you? I might deal in half-truths, but at least, I haven’t been lying to
myself.”
“What
does that mean?”
Matt dropped the guidebook in my lap. “It means you can’t have it both ways, Ryan. You
can’t believe in Vane and me at the same time. Only one of us is right.”
I
didn’t think he was talking about belief.
