There was a lingering silence after my words. The proof of what I can do for her, the path she can walk differently from her past, lay in front of her. Now it's up to her to decide if she will walk this path and change, or fall into the same depravity she is in. Of course, one can't expect big changes because some dude you don't know shit about suddenly came into your life and shows off.
Changes like that happen gradually, through interactions and several other factors that take place in your life. Just because I showed a different path doesn't mean decades of pain, death and destruction are washed away. They still exist, and those are not easy things to conquer. It will take time and patience for all of that.
And I plan to use that too, to my advantage, of course....
Smiling inwardly, I watched as the expression of surprise on Elowen's face became expressionless.
Her face just went blank.
'So that's her true face.'
