Salvatore looked from one face to another, searching for some sign that they still understood him, but found nothing, “And I’d do it again—” Vincenzo didn't let him continue, “You saw things I never had to see. You made choices I never had to make. You knew what this life really was before I was e
Salvatore furrowed his eyebrows, “What are you saying?” She took another step toward him, “How long until you hurt Jules too? How long until you find some reason to decide what's best for Aurelia and destroy something she loves in the name of protecting her?” His face changed color, “No. No. Don'
