Revive Me, Part Two: The Affair (New Haven, #3)

by J.L. Seegars

“Does your wife know you’re still in love with Mal?”

“Does Sloane know you’re still in love with her?”

“Truth or dare, princess?” “Truth.” “Do you want to come up to my room with me?” “Yes.”

“We’re just a classic case of the right person, wrong time, Chris. And it will always be that way. Your life, the world that you come from, your family, won’t let it go any other way. There are always going to be secrets to uncover, someone you love who needs to be saved from your father. It will always be something.”

“We won’t ever be done, princess. If we’re both here on this Earth, breathing, living, existing, then we are happening. Nothing is ever going to stop me from loving you.”

but it’s not too late for Mallory.

I can save her. Keep her safe the way I always intended to by eliminating the possibility of her ever being touched by the darkness surrounding me. All I have to do is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. All I have to do is exactly what she asked me to do before I left New Haven. Let her go.

Open my hands and release her heart, accepting that it will never be mine to hold again.
