“Look after her, Evander.” Aurora locks eyes with him. “She’s yours to care for.” “With my life,” he vows. The words still me. He means them. He’s always meant them. Beyond Aurora. Beyond Conri. He will keep me safe no matter what…I can feel it in my marrow. Part of me wants to write it off as last night clouding my judgment. But I feel like, if anything, I’m seeing clearer. Evander cares for me.
