“Is this real, or is this a dream?” Sorin’s smile faded and a look of concern passed across his features. “This is real, Scarlett.” “You came for me?” “I will always come for you.”
“Sorin?” “Yeah, Love?” She winced at the pet name. “If you were so close to my mother, why the fuck did you have her killed?”
