said it would be, no? "What did you expect, when you chose a serpent over an angel?"
Justin cries so hard, melting to the ground over and over again.
Liam Ryan never said another word to him after that ask. He pulled up his window, not even looking at Justin. But
Justin wouldn't leave, hanging onto the police car where Liam Ryan sits as if that would go back in time.
I don't know how much Justin loved "his angel", so | can't even begin to imagine how horrifying it is to find out
about such a mix-up only after her death.
Would Sebastian shed a tear for me, if he ever finds out?
It's better for all of us if he never does.

quy.
He likes me, for sreason. That much is obvious. What's not obvious is that he seems to hold deep feelings

I need to talk to him about it. I should.

"You did just experience quite a shock, and you haven't eaten for a long period," Adrian talks to himself more
than me, feeling out my steaming forehead with the back of his hand, "...but you are not supposed to have a
fever... Would she?"
His last question is directed at the nurse on my other side. | pressed myself back into the wall of the car as they
started a serious talk about my health, feeling it harder to breathe.
My question can wait.
Half holding my breath, | was so nervous about Adrian that | tried to divert my attention, only to numb myself so

The kind of light | see in myself when | look at Sebastian.
