I finally talked to Amer about that night. I told him how frightening everything was but how safe I felt in his arms. I told him how I had feelings for him, and how I hoped it wouldn't make things uncomfortable.
He responded by kissing me. He told me how beautiful I was and how he couldn't believe that I possessed such beauty and such strength. He told me how that night, when tragedy struck and his family was torn apart, he had never felt as much gratitude toward a single person as he felt toward me, for saving him, for trying to save his brother. He had tears in his eyes as he spoke of Nathye, but he just held me close to him.
Should I tell Helia? I don't want her to think that I'm taking advantage of her hospitality by taking advantage of her son, but what if she doesn't approve? Will she kick me out? Where will I go? And how will I see Amer again?
She deserves to know though, I can't keep secrets from her after all she's done for me. It wouldn't be right.
