Yorick:
Clementine had big tears in her eyes when she called out to me and yelled in front of everyone that she did not want to leave.
For a moment, I felt like a hero, someone whose mate was choosing to stay by his side.
I guess that is how Ian must feel, because for him, Clementine would stay for real, but this was not real.
I knew it was not.
She was saying it only because she believed she was in love with me and that I was the only one for her.
I gave her a weak, broken smile and shook my head at her.
But she refused to go.
Every time Leysa tried to pull her away, Clementine started whimpering and forcing her body to stay.
At that point, I was afraid for her.
If she did not leave, we would soon be in the same situation again, where my parents would come out after they had taken control of Charles, and then everything would repeat.
So I began walking quickly toward her.
I needed to help her. I needed her to leave so she could save herself.
