Chapter Sixty-Three: Cold Embrace
She went to the bridge, as soon as she could. Her heart pounded heavily in her chest, and she felt nervous about seeing him. Time away had given her some perspective. Enough to know she needed definition. She couldn't allow him to play her. She needed answers.
He was there, and the sight of him gave her pause.
He looked awful, like he'd hardly slept. Just like her while on the mission. His eyes lifted and met hers and she was stunned by the coldness in them. They seemed shuttered, closed off.
Was this the Sasuke she had left behind?
