You have my word. But I’m not going to even consider it if you can’t show me that you won’t even play
I’m completely still, just staring at Nico, my mind whirling even as I freeze. Because what he’s saying – it’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard. The idea of just leaving? Of never seeing Christian ever again – after I finally found him, after I’d already thought him lost? Of…of not even being a
“Wait, how do you know he has feelings for me?” I ask, standing up straight. “He was holding your hand, Iris,” Nico snaps, leaning forward to glare at me, his eyes narrow. “Christian has always been controlled, always been precise, and neat, and contained. And now, even though he’s got a great thi
