Chapter 147
Edna
I didn't want to jump to conclusions. My mind was racing.
That little red spot didn't look like the remains of a meal and it didn't look like paint either. It was suspicious.
My eyes returned to their normal size a few moments later. Although I felt something was wrong, I don't want Tyler to have a glimpse of what I was currently thinking about for a few reasons.
Firstly, I might just be losing myself in a pessimistic spiral again. I don't want my brother to know that I was labeling him with things he might not have done.
Secondly, if I was right about something being wrong with my brother, I don't want to expose my cards early.
My eyelids lowered. I really hope my mind was just misbehaving this time around. I didn't want to be right in this case.
I don't want to live with the fact that the person I sacrificed something for isn't who I think he is.
“Heartbeat, is something wrong?” Killian asked with concern coloring his tone.
Tyler's eyes never left my figure.
If suspicions weren't currently flying around in my mind, I would feel warm that my brother was looking at me like this.
The shift in my mentality turned something I would have regarded as a normal activity into a creepy and strange one.
Tyler's stare was intense.
I shook my head, “Don't worry, Killian. I am fine. I am just thinking about some of the things my brother and I used to do for fun back on my own planet. It's been a long while.”
A few moments ago, my heart was clamoring to spend the rest of the time Tyler had with him.
I wanted to make those moments count. Now, everything was contaminated.
‘What ifs’ plagued my mind.
I don't think I can spend the next few hours with my brother normally.
I have a love-hate relationship with my mind. Once the suspicions popped up, it becomes hard for things to be enjoyed.
“Tyler, what do you want to do? You would be in control of how we spend the next few hours.” I said.
Tyler shook his head, “Nothing is really coming to mind. If it was up to me, I wish to explore this palace more. We have all the time in the world. We can spend time together later.”
My eyes brightened. Tyler's words aligned with what I was hoping for.
I wanted to brainstorm ideas with Killian. I wanted to make sure I wasn't overreacting. I want Killian to confirm that everything I was suspecting wasn't in my mind.
Playing with Tyler would throw a wrench in my plans. I wasn't even in the mood to play with anyone.
Besides, if we spend more time together, the brother before me might notice clues about my pretense and suspicions.
It was better to be safe than sorry.
"Alrght." I responded, "Go and have fun. I still want to spend time with the love of my life anyway."
Tyler rolled his eyes, "Stop rubbing your relationship into the eyes of the innocent singles.”
I chuckled, "Go and get your relationship if it bothers you so much."
Tyler laughed out loud. For a very brief moment, I felt like Tyler and I were back on Earth without any suspicion or death separating us. Tyler continued laughing as he left.
