I WILL ALSO PLAY THE GAME

It was clear now: I would not win this battle through brute force, resistance, or even appeals for mercy. Noah was immovable; his obsession with me stronger than any amount of fear or guilt he'd had. The only way I was going to escape now was by changing tactics, even if that meant betraying every instinct inside of me.

It made my skin crawl even to think about it, but the desperation to be free-and the child I was now carrying-along with me drove me to extreme measures, suddenly very real-ones I never thought I'd consider. I had to make Noah believe I finally came around, that I had accepted him as my partner and that I was ready to let go of the past to build a future together. I had to lie to him, make him feel that he had won me while, in the reality of it, I was buying my time until the right moment to flee appeared.

Countless hours in front of the mirror, practicing the smiles that once came out so effortlessly from me, trying to remember the warmth that once burned inside my eye
