Shrouded Heart Chapter 36 What’s Going On?

“I need to know why Rian,” Rafi stated as he put his foot in the door to keep her from shutting it. Seb looked at her with concern. Rian sighed, “I suppose I can make tea.” She gestured to the lounge and walked into the kitchen. Seb looked worriedly over at Rian. “She looks exhausted.”…
