Nox’s P.O.V. That bitch broke my fucking window. I stared into the eyes of the girl I once thought I knew inside and out. I’d been an idiot, a daydreamer blinded by big doe-eyes and a laugh as warm and bright as sunlight. Did I ever truly know Lilac Einar? No, I don’t think I had. My lips curle
The same one she entered this bargain between us for. Just as defiant as Lilac herself, he stared at me without care, eyes boring into my own. That blank look might work on others, but not me. Not someone who could coerce him into smiling as he ended his pathetic life. Who the fuck was he to her?
