    Her breathing quickened. “Then what do we do?”I looked at her, truly looked. The girl who once hated me. The one who now carried pieces of a dead man inside her heart.“We break the bond,” I said.She laughed weakly. “You can’t just break death, Lucien.”“I can,” I said grimly. “But it’ll cost something.”Her eyes met mine. “You mean me.”I didn’t answer.The quiet stretche
