She stumbled back onto the rooftop, gasping for air. Nathan caught her, eyes wide. “Alina—what happened?” Her eyes filled with tears. “You lied to me.” Nathan froze. “What are you talking about?” “Project Prometheus,” she whispered, holding up the fragments. “You were never sent to destroy the Foundation. You were sent to take it over!”

I need to talk to mama and Marco.” Ryder started to pout. “Don’t pout little man.” Blaze smiled. “Mama, Marco and I will be back in time for dinner, and we will spend the whole night together.” “You pwomise?” Ryder asked. “I promise.” Blaze told him. River looked up at her daddy. “Pinky pwomise?” She asked holding up her tiny pinky. “OOOOO daddy.” Storm lightly gasped. “A pinky promise is a promise that daddies can never ever break.” She told him.

I'll just give the extra one to Lauren." I asked him to buy a chocolate cake, but he came home with vanilla. "I heard you wrong. Lauren likes this flavor, l'll just give it to her." Later, I carefully designed our future home and asked him to buy a house for us in Southville. But on the day we were supposed to inspect the house, he drove us all the way to Northville instead.

Well, maybe that is the only way she believes people. "Yes, I promise," I reply to her. "So, what's with you and promise? You always ask for a promise whenever we are talking," I ask her out of curiosity, even though I know that it's crazy.

"Stop bluffing, you shouldn't make promises you can't fulfil." "I don't make promises I don't intend fulfilling. I'll make you sing one more time only if you agree to come with me." "How do you intend doing that? you're not doctor" "You don't have to worry yourself about how I intend fulfilling my promise. Do you agree or not?" "I agree.
