It's not surprising."He paused, gazing into his glass. "Over the years, we've always been like this: seeing each other frequently for a time, then losing touch for long stretches.""I don't have time for a trip down memory lane," I stated bluntly, getting straight to the point.

That would give you time to save him." Xavier smiled faintly.I glanced at the box in Silas's hand but didn't take it immediately. I looked at Xavier from the corner of my eye.
