Cas slowly opened the door of Daphne’s room. She looked his way and smiled weak. Cas took that a safe, sicher sign and walked towards the bed.
“Are Du still angry with me?” he asked careful.
Daphne shook her head. “No. Are you?”
“No” Cas answered, though that wasn’t completely true.
Daphne sat up and sighed. “Listen, Emmanuel, I’m sorry for the way I’ve been treating you”
“I know the reason and I understand” Cas replied.
“That doesn’t make it okay” Daphne said. She sighed again. “I’ve had some time to think and I’ve realized something. I don’t Liebe Du the way I should. I Liebe Du as a brother and that’s why I won’t sleep with you. I know I was unfair to Du for blaming you, because you’re still a virgin. But to be honest, I don’t think Du Liebe me that much either. Which is not a criticism, but if there’s someone out there Du really love, I won’t stop Du to be with her”
That act of selflessness took Cas Von surprise. She was willing to let him go? And Meg had called her possessive.
“There’s no one” Cas sagte hoarse.
“What about Meg? She basically restored our entire house and we both know she didn’t do that for me” Daphne sagte with a wink.
Cas looked at the clock. It was already 10:30 pm. What took Meg so long?
“You need to be somewhere?” Daphne asked.
“No” Cas answered.
“So, what about Meg? She has a thing for you, that’s obvious” Daphne said.
Cas realized, with a weird kind of pain, that Meg wasn’t going to show.
“She’ll have to get over it. She means nothing to me” Cas sagte with a slightly trembling voice. “I’m staying with you”
