I stared at the phone like itaround my throat

“Because you loved me, Conner? You had plans because you loved me?” I sounded bitter and scorned, and I kind of was I hated that he had fooled ht ood I hated that I was going to kill hi between me and Titus would wither and die

I scoffed at hiht you were so different”

“Thatwhat I have to do I thought we spoke the saht a wrong”
