Kapitel 323: "We."

Katherine's resistance to Damien's advances was useless. Despite trying to distance herself from him, she just couldn't resist being lured in, allowing herself to just indulge in the luxurious feeling of being loved back by the man she loved.

And Katherine's wants and needs were in conflict with her thoughts, all because of feeling guilty towards her past. This wasn't some petty feeling that she could just shrug off and it would just go away. The unpleasant feeling had been burning in her stomach, brewing like a high-quality drink, waiting to be spilled onto herself to remind her of what she was 'not supposed' to do or to feel.

She loved him. She really did. And that's her heart speaking.
