"Do you not trust me?"
Felix let out a quiet sigh.
No, he didn't. The truth was that he still didn't trust Eden. At least not that much. Not enough to entrust him with any information that might put his and Vivi's safety in question.
He didn't want to say it out loud, though. He was worried that Eden might feel hurt because of it, and it wasn't his intention. So, instead, he explained, "It's not about trust. It would be better for you as well. This way, you won't get involved in anything dangerous… After all, even if you want to keep a secret, your expression, or your body language, might betray you. Let the person interrogating you know that you are lying. But if you're under a spell, then it will be as if you truly have no idea… You will look like a perfectly innocent, clueless, completely uninvolved person living in this town."
"I know how to keep secrets," Eden insisted. "I have also run away from my pack, and managed to stay hidden for a few years now…"
