MORTAL ✰ ISAAC LAHEY

[CHAPTER 37]

A CONVERSATION BETWEEN STRANGERS

so, how do you feel?

about as bad as you'd expect a car crash and extensive internal injuries would create.

uh, sorry. i didn't mean to be rude or insensitive, really.

it's okay.

...

it's okay, isaac.

i'm sorry again. i shouldn't have brought it up.

no, it's okay. really. you can say anything. i won't be offended and if i am, we can always work it out.

are you sure, skylar? i don't want to intrude or ruin this.

i'm sure. and you can call me skye, you know? i don't bite.

...

you can say the words on your mind.

...

and i know this is gonna sound cliche but if you don't let it out, you won't ever be able to breathe, you know?

i know. i know that feeling too well.

clearly italics is isaac and regular is skye
