So, this chapter took me a while to write. I placed a lot of thought into it and had to re-write some parts multiple times, Lol😁. Thank you all for your patience.💜

Among the seven sins,

Pride has a reserved spot.

It prevents us from loving our  friends,

And leaves us competing and comparing.

The other sins are deadly,

But pride is the deadliest of all.

"Can you hold on for a minute," I said, my eyes never left the figure walking in the shadows

"Can you hold on for a minute," I said, my eyes never left the figure walking in the shadows.

"Hello?" A hand waved over my face. I turned to Phyllis who watched me with a hint of annoyance. "I'm trying to determine my mental state and this is what you tell me?"

"So you mean you've been acting weird ever since you met Liam?" I asked.

She stared guiltily at the twig in her hands. "I guess. He's great and all, but that's the thing. I always forget what we did the day after. Except for the fact that we had a great time."

She's more of a regular diet.

"Hold on to that. I'll be back." I got to my feet. The figure was walking deeper into the forest now.

I made a move when Gwen grabbed my jacket. "Where are you going? Zion said we should stay together."

"I saw something."

"So you're going to say 'hello'? What if it's a Crocotta?"

"I don't think it is." It didn't have the shape of a large dog. And even if it was a crocotta, Eros' men would've spotted it by now.

"I'll be back in five minutes, okay?"

"Let me go with you." 

She pushed to her feet but I stopped her. "No. Stay and cover for me."
