I can even pretend it doesn’t kill me to think you might wonder if I’ll hurt her or put her in danger. But if you remember anything about me, remember this…” Her eyes flashed up to me then, slicing through me like an obsidian blade. “I’d die for her just as happily as I’d die for you. No amount of time will ever change that. And no amount of hate.”
