Chapitre 121: No!

"I will stay," Evie said as she gently smiled. However, Gavriel could see the pain and sorrow reflected in her eyes as she gazed at him. He understood her and the reason behind that look in her eyes very well. It was a look borne from her thoughts that they would be separated from each other very soon.

He grabbed her wrists – though desperately, he was still gentle with her – and his jaws clenched tightly. Then he shook his head, his eyes intense. "I will never leave you behind, Evie." He told her straight and firm. The tone he used indicated that there was no one – not even Evie herself – could change his mind. "No matter what happens, I am going to take you with me, do you understand?" Evie could tell from the tone he used that he was dead serious and there would be no further discussion on this matter anymore.
