“I tried my entire life to not fall for a man I tried to keep love out of the equation I tried…and failed”

Tears water her eyes, but it’s nothing compared to howin this world I want s for oing to break me

“I changedmy oeakness to her

“I loved Waylon” She plunges the knife into my heart

She loved him, and I took him from her

“You loved hih he made you suck otherenough to protect you, you loved him?”

“Yes, I loved him I’ll always love him”

“I didn’t think you were capable of love, huntress”

“I didn’t think you were either, killer”

“And yet, we both fell in love”

“Do you love Phoenix?”

“Is that your question?”

“No,” she quickly replies

I don’t answer her, but she already knows I don’t love Phoenix I’ve never felt romantic love

I love my kids I love Siren as my soulmate I love Enzo, Kai, Zeke, and even Liesel as friends, but I’ve never been in love, never fallen for another human
