"Leave me, Ivan." The words scraped out of my throat, raw and broken, each syllable a struggle as the weight of everything crashed down on me. I couldn't breathe. This wasn't how it was supposed to end. Not like this. His voice pierced through the chaos like a lifeline. "Tell me, my love... how can I leave my heart behind?"

He stepped closer, voice low and trembling with something fierce. "I'd rather hate you and have you, Iris... than love you and lose you."
