The only reason you’re here at all is because I refuse to let any harm come to those children on account of me. But as soon as the threat is gone, you will be, too. And I will be happier for it.” Each word feels like a nail in my coffin. That kiss earlier was just a manipulation, a way to get me to listen to him. Not gonna lie—it hurts.
