We are going to Pallandino, the home of the Knights.
Jesse gave me the news early this morning before breakfast. He caught me in the hallway as I came from my room. Even though I would have thought he would be happy to see his family again, have them know he is alive, he looked nervous.
When I asked if he was, he merely shrugged, looking away. It was not until I took his hand and asked again that he gave me a clear answer.
He did not know how his family would react. And they would be there, having stayed after his 'death' to be with his extended family. He was most worried about his mother, who he had gotten word had taken it the worst. She had not left their home in these months, barely eating and sleeping.
I told him that maybe her seeing him again would give her life meaning again. He responded with a 'Maybe.'
It was then that he smiled and wondered out loud about what his mother would think about me.
Of course, I blushed scarlet.
Maybe he had not meant to say that out loud.
But he made it seem like he had.
