Only question was, did I have the strength to pay it?
In the end, fate made the choice for me.
With a sharp inhale, Ily suddenly announced, “You know what? Everything’s fine. I’m the one who made a mistake. He doesn’t have to go.”
Fuck, Ily, what have you done?
The bouncer muttered some French slurs about intoxicated youth and ridiculous drama, then stomped back to his post by the wall. Dancers forgot about us as the music switched to an electric trance.
Energy crushed us, trapping us with dark chemistry and strobe lights.
I had no idea what to say.
No idea if I had the courage to save her or steal her.
Raising her chin, Ily studied me.
She looked far too young and far, far too breakable.
She represented my end.
I was a motherfucking dead man.
Ever so slowly, she stepped into me and stared directly into my dirty, despicable soul.
I couldn’t look away as her beautiful gaze darkened with decisions and dangers.
And then…barely noticeable, she nodded. “A million…to see where the night takes us.”
I smothered my groan.
My life was over.
Her life was over.
We were officially bound in death.
I held out my hand and waited.
With the smallest hesitation, she placed her fingers in mine.
A crackle, a bolt, a fissure of electricity.
“I’m trusting you, Henri…don’t…please don’t make me regret it.”
As quickly as that electricity arrived, it died.
My teeth turned to dust in my mouth; I couldn’t reply.
I doubted I’d ever be able to speak to her again.
Hating myself, I tugged her into the nightmare that would destroy both of us.
