‘It took a lot out of..’ her shape shifting. That’s why she looked... well that was something Pavel could breath a little easier about, though he didn’t rule out anything completely yet. “Mr. Kaden said he will look into it.” Had his life been different and he still been in the Ukraine and not considered dead there, he would have the right contacts to find out. But now, he was at a loss. “I do not even know if I care anymore. What is done is done.” He shrugged, rubbing his neck. “Everybody knows- or thinks they know why Valentin and I broke up.” He let out a breathy laugh and shook his head. “Valentin said I should tell why I cheated. Because that would make difference.” He shook his head knowing that any reason would be viewed as an excuse and probably just make him more of an asshole.
“Mr. Kaden also told me...” he looked up at her. “That you were affected bad...” Pavel’s expression appeared a bit hurt. “Why did you not tell me? I would not have...” He would have kept waiting even if he wasn’t getting better it was better than, “I did not want you to be hurt.” His hands fidgeted in his lap as he resisted reaching out to her in affectionately- as a friend. Gloves or not, he was scared to touch her at all.
