“You’ve been so quiet since your return, Brother. I thought you’d be far happier to see me.” I swallowed the growing lump in my throat. I was happy to see him. Happy to be off of blasted Onuna, but another aching pit ate at my gut. One thing I could not, or had not, forgotten. “You’re a monster,” she said, sneering at me and pulling at the restraints. “I halted plans for you, searched for that damned book, hoping there was another way that I could keep you.” My hand slid across her jaw as she pulled away from me in disgust. “I love you.”
oh shit
