Jason explained, and the weight of his words slowly settled in the air.
Aiden's expression darkened with each passing second.
Noticing which, Jason asked, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"
"What if I told you," Aiden said, his voice taut with a mixture of restrained fear and frustration, "that I suspect she is starting to regain her memories?"
Arwen was his bottom line.
The mere thought of something going wrong under his watch —with her —was unbearable.
He couldn't afford to fail again in protecting her. Not when she was everything to him.
Jason's brows drew together. "You think she is regaining her memories? Why do you suspect that?"
Aiden didn't keep the detail from him.
Jason listened in complete silence, taking in all. His brows drew into a frown. He didn't speak immediately.
Only after a long pause did he respond, his voice levelled and clinical.
"Aiden," he began, "this may or may not be good news."
