He had never really realised how many cracks there was in the paintwork on the ceiling, not until he had been staring at it for an hour straight. Isaac groaned, dragging a hand through his hair. The sofa creaked as he shifted ever so slightly. A million and one thoughts were running wild in his head, eating away at him and draining every last drop of energy he had. Plus, the guilt over not telling Lila the truth about his job was chipping at him.
He didnāt even know how he would start the conversation, āSo, hey, Iāve kind of been lying the past two years and Iām actually an agent for this probably very illegal coup against the government which has been backed by a bunch of rich families for the past few generations. Sorry that this will most definitely change our relationship and your view on me forever, but can you carry on as if none of that matters!ā.Ā Isaac let out a sigh, eyes squeezed shut. It was ridiculous. He didnāt want to drag her into this world of his, god knows if she would still even stick by his side if she knew.
When he opened his eyes, Isaac was greeted to a face peering at him, leaning over the top of the sofa. So startled, Isaac proceeded to nearly fall off the sofa, causing the figure above him to laugh. Lilaās hair was tied up and her smirk was on clear view. He hadnāt even heard the door opening or closing earlier, when did she get back?
āWhatās on your mind?ā She probed, lazily resting her head against her hand.
āItās nothing,ā Isaac shrugged, a sheepish smile on his face. One of Lilaās eyebrows were raised, a clear sign she didnāt believe him.
āWell it canāt just beĀ nothing, youāve been glaring at the ceiling like it offended your whole bloodline.ā Lila mumbled. He let out an awkward laugh as he pushed himself up.
āJust stuff to do with work.ā
He was once again lying through his teeth, still unable to tell her the truth. Lila titled her head for a second as if she was pondering the validity of his answer before sighing and straightening up.
āWell just be careful, donāt let it all sit inside,ā Lila gently flicked his forehead, āIf you hold it all in youāll just get lost in there, and Iād rather you were in the present, with me.ā
