章節 52: Excuse Me!?

Claire's POV

I finally saw it in his eyes— Evander really thought he could win me back, that he could erase three years of silence and pain just because he had decided he wanted me again. His words, his promises, felt like they were years too late.

He was right in front of me, so close I could feel the warmth radiating from him. And yet, it felt like he was a thousand miles away. When he said he still loved me and that he had never stopped, I wanted so badly to believe him. I wanted to let down the walls I had built around my heart and just fall back into his arms. But I couldn't. Not after everything I had been through.
