“Rex asked, as we rushed through the crowd. “Did the witch remove the curse?”
“He can’t,” I said over my shoulder. “He no longer has the ability.”
Rex stopped in the middle of the crowd, forcing me to stop with him. I turned to face him.
“Do you believe him?” he asked.
I slowly nodded. “He was telling the truth.”
“So why aren’t you taking this harder?”
My gaze traveled downwards. I stared at the floor, softly sighing.
“Essie,” he prodded. “Are you okay?”
“I just can’t do this right now.” I felt the tears welling in my eyes, but I refused to cry. “I can’t break down.” My voice was barely audible over the music, but he seemed to figure out what I’d said.
Of course I took it hard, but it never occurred to me this would be a huge disappointment for Rex, too.
