Malice (Soul Chasers #1)

Chapter 33

Hudson

I sit on the edge of the bed, waiting as patiently as possible for Aster to get out of the shower. He insisted he smelled like rotten eggs, but I didn’t notice. I’m too busy processing the fact that this nightmare is finally over. I can feel it too. The house feels different. Lighter. The way it felt the day I walked in before I bought it. It called to me, and now, it’s welcoming me all over again.

I wish I was relaxed but I’m not. I want to tell Aster how I feel about him and ask him to keep me. There’s no way I want to move past this without him, whatever that looks like. In my heart I know he has feelings for me too, I saw them in his eyes, but what if he’s too afraid to try? He’s new at this whole soul chasing thing. It could be overwhelming to him to navigate it with me in his life too. I don’t know what I’ll do if he’s not ready.
