Zeke listened to her. He really listened. That wasn’t something she hadn’t felt since her father had died. The Vasiliev’s hadn’t listened - not really. Grisha had occasionally, but no one had stepped up to defend her when Sophia had orchestrated her downfall, and they hadn’t been interested in listening to her attempts to defend herself. But Zeke did. He cared enough to listen and help her understand her. For that she was grateful.
At Zeke’s words, she didn’t flinch, but there was a reaction as she sat back and nodded in complete understanding. She had overstepped. Zeke wasn’t angry, but he was firm, and Tatyana understood that it hadn’t just been the act of taking his joint without permission. She had directed her magic at him, and she wasn’t to do that. She would take that to heart.
”I wont use it against you ever again. I promise,” she said, vocalizing her understanding.
It was then that he mentioned he wanted to take her to a club. A club? Why? Two years ago she might have fit in at one, but now? But Zeke said she might like it. There was apprehension there, but it was overshadowed by her intrigue. Part of her wanted to ask, but part of her wanted the surprise of not knowing. She just hoped it wasn’t Nebasa’s Gate.
