A Winter's Promise (The Mirror Visitor, #1)

by Christelle Dabos

“Don’t be anxious, I’ve never hurt a woman in my life. And you’re so small! It prompts an irresistible desire to protect you.”

I would be so offended if someolne said this to me, cuz like sir whatchu mean ?!

On the seat opposite, Freya, hands in muff, didn’t move a muscle, and yet an almighty slap flung Ophelia against the window. Completely dazed, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the blurred figure before her—her glasses had fallen off her nose with the force of the slap.

I wanna throw hands right now !

since Freya’s two slaps, she’d had her neck stuck in a brace.

Damm !

“I’ve always considered speaking a waste of time, but, as I hope you will have noticed, I do try to counter my nature.”

🤭

don’t show it to you very well, but your fate is of real concern to me. If the slightest offense is committed against you behind my back, it will be paid for at the highest price.”

Ou 🤭 not him being concerned 👀

he added more quietly, taking a sudden interest in his shoes, “I think I’m starting to get used to you.”

Stoooop <3

“I had predicted that you wouldn’t last the winter, and you’ve proved me wrong. You deem me incapable of one day offering you a decent life; would you permit me, in turn, to prove myself?”

He didn’t have the right to fall in love with her.

“You will no longer have to look her in the face. I’m going to send that woman away, very far from Citaceleste. Didn’t I tell you that I would take my revenge on all those who went for you?”

As he should !
