❝You've broken me, Caleb. You've destroyed me.❞ She said quietly, her teeth clenched as she gazed up at me. ❝D-don't say that. Please I-❞ ❝Just let go of me!❞ Aria cried out.

"This is the hall bathroom," I motioned as we passed, "and this is the bedroom." "Bedroom?" Cadence clarified. "Just one? But you said I'd be staying here." I turned to see her blushing again, and had the urge to place my hand on her cheek to see if it was as warm as it looked. I didn't. "I still have to make sure you don't try anything," I explained.
