I drop the charming act and let Mrs. Rivera see the graveness I feel for the situation. The weight of losing the man I love and the woman I’ve only met but know to the core of my being will complete us. “I’ve been alone for a long time, and I recognize the opportunity not to be. I won’t ruin that for anything.” Not with Jasper’s fearful reticence or Emilia’s need for normalcy.
Lilian loves fo write Mastermind guys, which honestly I love. Like Taylor once said "I'm only cryptic and machiavellian 'cause I care"
