(Astrid's POV)
Brady and I sat down on the couch, leaving a decent amount of space between us. He ran his hands through his hair, then dropped his head into his hands.
"You know Kael can hear everything we say. The walls in these human apartments are really thin."
I sighed.
"I know. And if it really bothers you, we can mind-link. But Kael would never agree to leave me alone here with you. I figured you'd be more comfortable with him in the bedroom than sitting out here with us while we talk."
"Mind-link it is, then," Brady said with a resigned nod.
"But you should also know… Kael and I don't keep secrets from each other."
"So whatever I say to you right now, you're going to tell him anyway?"
"Yes."
Brady looked up at me, visibly hurt. It made me second-guess whether I should have said it but it was the truth. I needed to be honest, not just for Brady's sake, but for Kael's too. I didn't want Kael thinking I was hiding anything from him.
