He smiled and looked at her. “This is amazing. I can’t think of anything else.” Arthur looked back down at the city. He couldn’t believe this was happening to him.
“Arthur, c’n I ask you something?”
“Sure, what is it?”
Summer looked at him very seriously. “How did you know what an empath is? Most people don’t. And you trusted me to use it on you.”
“Actually, I don’t know what an empath is. I just trust you enough not to care.”
She tipped her head to one side. “You haven’t learnt not to trust yet, is that it? Lucky you. Hold on to that as long as possible, darlin’. You’ll get hurt, but the return will be worth the pain.”
“No, I know not to trust people. But you seem trustworthy.” He prepared himself for the pain she told him about.
“Aren’t you sweet! You barely know a thing about me, and you’ve decided to trust me.”
