You love Seamus and you’ve loved a fraction of me before now. You can hate Jake but you can’t hate all of me. A man like me with multiple personalities, you can only hate one.” I said, walking out of her apartment. ••••🍀RACHEL🍀 I sat up from the floor, staring at the door. Tears streaming down my cheeks.

I try not to ask questions my heart may not be able to hear the answers to, even if my logical brain can comprehend it with ease.

Lucien was quiet for a moment. "Maybe that's not a reason not to do it."

I repeated to reassure myself. But the truth was that I was far from fine. The things that happened in the last twenty-four hours were enough to unnerve me.

Forget I ever said that,” he rushed out, his face going pale.

Taking a deep breath, I begin expressing my gratitude for her willingness to meet with me, acknowledging the difficulty of the circumstances.
