“I’m the one who practically begged for this, Karras,” he says, pinning me with a harsh look. “Besides, if things get complicated, we’ll deal with it as it comes.” “Okay.” I tilt my head, feeling a small sliver of relief. “Agreeing to this means I’m putting my trust in you. You know that, right?” “I know.” His eyes light up with determination as he flashes me a smile. “And I can promise you, you won’t regret it.”
