I knew, somewhere deep down, that bringing him here was the right decision the moment I made it.
Not because it was planned perfectly.
Not because it made sense logically.
But because it felt right in a way I couldn't explain even to myself.
Caspian was the kind of person you didn't have to guess about for long. If you paid attention to him—even a little—you'd notice a pattern. Books were always there. In his hands. On his desk. In his thoughts, probably. Ancient magic texts, old legends, anything with history buried inside it… that was where he lived when he wasn't talking to people.
And I've always known that.
That's why I wanted to bring him here.
Still… when I was driving, part of me hesitated.
