"It's good you didn't come near me," she said, her voice hoarse. "It would have affected you too."
"What are you saying?" He fell to one knee before her, took her hands into his, his eyes not leaving hers. "If I had known it would be like this, I would have made it public."

Rhea chuckled softly. I see you still haven't learned anything from Bethany.
"What, are you a tyrant?" Rhea asked, her lips stretching into a small smile.
