/Malia's POV/
After hearing Ezra’s last message, I thought for a moment he had really seen through my illusion but I realized afterwards that it was a vow to himself, that stubborn guy I thought feeling a warm feeling settle at the base of my stomach. The warmth I felt within me was from his assurance that he would find me no matter what, though I doubt that because I am essentially skilled when it comes to running.
Though he isn't that capable, I still feel...great about it, that someone is willing to go such lengths for me. After he was gone, I clear the illusion and resumed packing until I was tired, eventually I entered my bathroom, have a cold bath and go to bed afterwards.
I couldn't help but relish the memory of Ezra being of my bed, the way he was looking at me after I woke up
