when the sky was finally seen again, e m m a wanted to cry. she had no clue where she was or why t h e o was doing this.
this wasn't love, she thought. there was no way he loved her, everything would've played out completely different.
"how are you?" he asked.
she looked up and laughed humorlessly. "you really think i'm good, after you kidnapped me?!"
but all he did was smile and pull her out of the car. she was so exhausted by now that she refused to fight back unless absolutely necessary.
"come on. this is my old house."
"why? why do you love me, t h e o?"
"many reasons. you're beautiful, smart, kind, and so i don't have to be
a l o n e
anymore."
