“You’re a god?” Max breathes the words out like I’m flat out insane as he slouches into the couch.

“Yes. And you’re my assignment. I was sent here to Fate you to the woman of your dreams. Like I’ve said three hundred times in the last ten minutes.” I lean back against the far wall by the window—the only wall not covered in books or games.

Zarah paces back in forth in front of me and glances knowingly when I say the Fating part. She got it right away that Taylor might be the girl. Max hasn’t clued in yet. He looks like a smart guy. But to be fair, that might not be the first thing he’d grab onto out of this mess I laid out in front of him.

“And I’m just supposed to believe that? That you’re the god of love…” Max’s head falls between his knees and he runs his hands through his hair, clasping his fingers behind his neck.

“Yes.” It’s Taylor who speaks this time and we’re all caught off guard by her solid tone. Max lifts his head and their eyes meet locking into a silent conversation. Zarah and I are involved no matter what. Max and Taylor are in danger because of us.

“Why, though? This isn’t real. This doesn’t happen. There is earth and humans and animals and...and…”

“And God?” Taylor asks. “This isn’t any different. If you believe there is more out there, this is your proof. And this.” Taylor grabs a plastic case and throws it at Max. He catches it and shakes his head.

“God of War? This is a game, Taylor. This isn’t happening in my living room.” He tosses the case back at her.

“You’re starting to piss me off.” Taylor has lost the calm empathic expression and is back to a tiny ball of fire with a temper to match. But I agree, he’s pissing me off too. Zarah seems to be the only one keeping her cool through our discussion. Just the way she carries herself looks determined. Stronger.

As Max and Taylor argue, my eyes are glued to Zarah, traveling the length of her as she walks back and forth in front of me. The things that mix inside of me are familiar, yet foreign. I want to pull her to me, push her away, wrap her up, and disappear forever all at the same time. I can’t do this right now. I can’t sort out my feelings for her, if she ends up worse than dead at the hands of an Unfated.

I raise my hand in the air and stop Max from saying whatever he’s about to say next.

“Okay. Fine. You don’t believe me. Doesn’t change the fact that Zarah is in danger and now you are too. So humor me, or I’ll take over your body again and make you listen.” I smirk and Max scowls.

He was straight up not impressed when that part of the story came up.

“You stay out. I’m serious.” Max points and I shrug, angling my eyes to the ground.
