Chapter 59

I hear a vehicle pull up, and I know my mother and Adam’s father have just arrived. Adam and I separate, but I’m upset that I didn’t get a chance to ask him more about what just happened. I needed to find the answer to that question; he had to tell me.

The power inside of me was one that you usually saw in a fire whisperer, but the power that came out of Adam just now was one that you’ll only spot in a dark whisperer.

Just how much did I not know about Adam and his father? His power was strong enough to contain my fire, and unlike me, he had to have some experience. This meant he had to know about it all along. Adam must be familiar with a lot more than he was telling me.

Was this how he knew that touching me would stop the fire in the cafeteria? Was it also how he knew touching my body today would bring the flames out from inside me?

My fists are sweating even though I was in the lake just a few minutes ago. This is almost too much for me to take in.

I hear footsteps and try my best to mask my emotions. I didn’t want my mother to ask any . unnecessary questions. I would do anything to avoid that. There were things that I had to find out without her knowing.

“Did you guys get into the water without us?” She asks the moment that she spots me.

Henry takes one look at us and laughs, “it seems that we were worried about them not getting along for no reason. They must be getting along pretty well to jump into the lake before we could even reach.”

Igrab a towel from my mother’s hands and wrap it around my shaking body. My trembling has nothing to do with the water; it has everything to do with what just occurred between Adam and me.

My gaze finds Adam, and he seems to be deep in thought. The pulse on the side of his neck is throbbing, and I can tell that he isn’t as unbothered as he’d like everyone to think. Whatever happened between us is affecting him just as much as it’s affecting me.

Good. I didn’t want to be alone in this.

“How long will we be here for?” I ask my mother. “I need to get home early; I have school tomorrow.”

I also needed to corner Adam and get him to spill everything to me. How much did he know about what was happening to my body? What was he not telling me?

And would I only be able to create fire when I was angry or when he was touching me? I had so many questions, and I wasn’t sure if I should tell my mother about this. She wasn’t honest with me all along; why should I be honest with her?
