Chapter 246 - Work talks (1)

After walking back to the chamber, Alexander and I prepare for the night.

Prim helps me get out of the dress and combs my hair while Alexander does on his own. Once finished, the girl leaves after a curtsey. She's learned a lot in a few hours.

Finally alone, Alexander walks to me and crouches in front of the chair. I lift my eyebrows, surprised. This scene feels familiar...

It's so similar to when he apologised to me the first time, after leaving me for a week to cope alone with the evil court. This time, he doesn't have anything to be sorry for.

«What?» I inquire, feigning unconcern.

«I'm sorry, Thea,» he whispers, almost moved. «I was such a jerk out there...»

It's all part of a plan; why does he seem so dejected? I won't take it to heart since I know he doesn't think what he said.

Instead of accepting his apology, I get up and walk to bed. I might as well exploit his availability.
