All Alistair does is steal. Steal and give.
All Everett wants to do is stop Alistair from doing just that.
And Alistair might succeed in stealing one more thing that he planned to.
'Have you heard of anti-heroes? People, who do good, but have an element of evil about them that makes them unable to be a full hero? I'm not one of them. I'm an anti-villain."
Maybe after, Everett will realise that thieves can be angels too.

His eyes meet mine and I have to let out a shaky breath, holding on tight to him to keep myself stable.
