“Tory, I can’t. I swore an oath to Darius after I hurt you before. You know I can’t-” She punched me so hard, my fucking head wheeled to one side, and I tasted my own blood. “Don’t throw his fucking name at me and talk about promises you made to him. He promised me he’d fight for me. He promised he wouldn’t fucking leave. And look what he did. So don’t go keeping promises to that asshole which will end up getting the both of us killed, when he broke every oath he ever swore by dying on that fucking battlefield and leaving me all on my own.”
