“That was an elaborate scheme I designed entirely for my father’s benefit,” Warner says.
OHHH
But good God, love”—he shakes his head—“you must have an absurdly low opinion of me if you think I would steal someone’s child just to watch you torture it.”
OHHH
“Juliette—Juliette, love, wake up—wake up—
“I won’t let go until you’re ready,” he tells me. “Don’t worry. Take your time.”
Oh my god
“You make a good point,” Kenji finally says. “Maybe you should find me a lady in this crappy sector. I’m okay with anyone between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five.” He points at James. “So how about you get on that, thanks.”
Ily
“Juliette,” Adam says. Sighs. He looks away, looks back at me. “What are you talking about? Of course it was a simulation.”
OH
Warner scratches the back of his head. “Do you never get exhausted being so wholly unbearable? You have as much charisma as the rotting innards of unidentified roadkill.”
“In fact, I think I was very clear just a moment ago when I said that I was here for Juliette.
Boy
“How can you even look at him,” he says to me, “knowing how he treated us?
shhh no one cares
“What’s happened to you?” He turns on me. “I don’t even know who you are anymore.
Shh
Castle is smiling, laughing a little. He finally looks more like the man I remember.
awh
“Juliette?” Warner’s soft whisper brings me back to the present, hauls me up and into myself, jarring my consciousness back to reality.
I need him
“I can’t even talk to you right now.” He’s shaking his head, his voice strangled. “I can’t even be near you right now—”
SHUT UP
“Hey, don’t pull me into your bullshit, okay?” Kenji counters. “Don’t blame me for your issues.”
Yes stand up king
“I asked you if you were sure,” he snaps. “Because you’re acting pretty damn stupid right now, so I don’t know if I can trust your judgment anymore.”
HELLO
and you don’t understand that you’re acting like a stupid child who’s allowed herself to be brainwashed by a psychopath.”
Oh no
“Thirteen hundred hours . . . from now?” Warner laughs. Looks up. “One o’clock in the afternoon.”
Ah
“Good for you. I’ll buy you a balloon the minute the world stops shitting on itself.”
ily
He also pretends I don’t exist.
Ew
“Go. Drop dead.”
OH NAH
“I was happier,” Adam says, “when I thought she was dead.”
Oh nah
“JULIETTE—Juliette—” I spin around. Warner is standing there, face flushed, chest rising and falling, staring at me like I might be a ghost. He strides across the room before I have a chance to say a word and cups my face in his hands, his eyes searching me. “Are you okay?” he’s saying. “God—are you okay? What happened? Are you all right?”
WADNEEERR
And Warner, to me, is no longer something to be afraid of.
Took 2 and a half books
“Why don’t you understand?” He looks up at me and his eyes are so full of pain and devastation it actually takes my breath away. My hands are shaking. “Understand what—?” “I love you.”
I squeeled
“So the two of you”—Ian tries to find his voice—“I mean, together—you two could basically—” “Take over the world?” Warner is looking at the wall now.
Bye
“I’ve never seen him in sweatpants before.” I try to sound normal. “I’ve never even seen him in shorts.” Kenji raises an eyebrow at me. “I bet you’ve seen him in less.”
Boy
He swings again, slowly, for my sake. I slap his arm out of the way.
LMAO
“I do want you,” I say to him, my voice shaking. “I want you so much it scares me.”
Finally
“I love you,” I whisper. “I love you exactly as you are.”
Queen
and he’s kissing me.
YUHH
“Lift your hips for me, love,”
OHSSANNA
I crawl into his arms and cling, and he holds me tight against him. Drops a kiss on the top of my head. Whispers, “Good morning, sweetheart.”
Omg
Warner’s hand is on my back. He leans in, whispers, “How easy is it to take this thing off?”
UGH
h e l l i s e m p t y a n d a l l t h e d e v i l s a r e h e r e I kiss my way across the words. Kissing away the devils. Kissing away the pain.
me
He leans into my ear. Lowers his voice. “Ignite, my love. Ignite.”
WOOT
And shoot him in the forehead.
Queen
Twice. Once for Adam. Once for Warner.
QUEEN
“I am Juliette Ferrars, and I will lead this nation. I challenge anyone who would stand against me.”
