“What?”

I squared my shoulders, nodding to myself. “I said, we should break up. Didnt you hear me??”

Connor’s eyes were searching mine.

“I heard you the first time. I was just giving you a chance to take that stupid idea back.”

“Stupid? Its not stupid, its a brilliant idea” I huffed.

“This is exactly what Sandra wanted. I knew she’d find some way to hurt us, I knew it, and now instead of it just being aimed at you, it’s aimed at me…”
