Michael's expression turned embarrassed as he said, "Stephie, I'm not-1-" "Even if you refuse to admit it, Michael, I'll still have to tell you the truth. Stephanie Carlson is already dead. The person standing before you hows Stephany Larson," I interrupted him indifferently.
Michael's words were stuck in his throat as his eyes becred. His mouth opened multiple times but nothing cout.
