1 nearly shouted, barely managing to keep my voice in check. Shaking my head in disbelief, I exhaled sharply. 

“People are insane. They believe whatever they want.” 

Grayson’s gaze lingered on me, as if he were analyzing every flicker of emotion on my face. His usually composed expression darkened, his eyes clouding over like a storm rolling in. The calmness he carried just moments ago shifted into something else–something akin to anger. 

“Grayson, do you believe that too?” I asked, my voice quieter now. 

“No,” he answered immediately, no hesitation in his tone. 

“Exactly. So why can’t everyone else understand that?” 

He didn’t respond. Instead, his eyes dropped to my coffee cup, and I followed suit, taking another.sip in silence. The weight of the conversation hung between us, but I had no desire to break it.

My breath caught. “You… you really did?” 

It was hard to believe–after everything, after all the uncertainty, he had already found the cure. It meant my brother had a real chance of surviving. 

“Yeah,” he confirmed. “Last night, when I checked on him, I recognized the poison right away.”

“Grayson, I don’t even know how to thank you,” I whispered, emotion thick in my voice. “You’re truly a lifesaver–exactly the kind of person I imagined you to be.”
