.............. Alexios .............. “f**k!” I leaned against the cool stone wall, my heart pounding in my chest. The phone call with Alafia left me in a state of shock. I called her earlier to inform her that I would be meeting up with my parents, but her phone rang unanswered. A moment ago she called back to reveal that she, too, was in Crestview and my life just got more complicated, making me glad I held back on telling her where I was, otherwise, things could have gone horribly wrong. I asked if she would be attending the ceremony, so I could cancel on my father, knowing if she came close to me, even with my disguises off, she would know it was me. But she said she wasn't going and would go back to Crestwood in the morning and return when her family finished with the ceremony
