Crusade
To say the least, Kaidan and Shepard's confrontation didnât go well. Which was why she was awfully surprised to get this message from him.Â
It has been days since she received this message. Shepard read it so many times a day she has every word memorized by now. But she couldnât say anything back.
There were bugs all over the Normandy. And Shepard knew her messages were being monitored too. Miranda knew she got that message from Kaidan. She didnât need to tell Shepard for her to know.Â
Muling Kadainâs words over and over again in her head Shepard made herself some coffee. She was so deep into her thoughts she didnât see Garrus.Â
âWhatâs going on with you these days?â Garrus scared her so much she almost jumped to her side. âSorry,â he apologized. âDidnât mean to startle you.â
Shepard placed a hand on her heart. âNo, it's fine. I just didnât see you there.â She was stirring her coffee with a spoon. Making sure the sugar dissolved into her coffee.Â
âSo,â he said when she said nothing else. âWant to answer my question?â
In all honesty Shepard already forgot that her turian friend asked her a question. But she only continued to stir her coffee in oblivion.
