Sapphire hesitated for a moment, as if choosing her words carefully.
"Lia, there's something I need to tell you," she finally said, her voice tinged with awkwardness.
I looked at her curiously, urging her to continue. "What is it, Sapphire?" I asked, my heart fluttering with uncertainty.

"Even though he reacts numbly to the bond between us, I can't help but miss the connection we once had."
I felt a rush of conflicting emotions at her confession.
Part of me was surprised and confused by her feelings for Max, while another part understood the depth of the bond they once shared.
Sapphire's words caught me off guard. "You miss Max?" I repeated, surprised by the admission. "But he's the one who hurt me, who betrayed my trust.

I summoned my beta and striked up a conversation concerning Lia, but then he changed his perspective and also suggested something different "What if we looked in the places she loves most?" he said."The places that hold special meaning for her.
