Chapter 27

• Sophia gets up on shaking legs and pulls herself together, grabbing onto the wall and rails to give herself purchase. The shock of it numbing her out and the pain in her body pulling her attention away from how unbearable this is. She stares at him while the tears stream down her face, dripping onto her now sodden t-shirt, and then at Celine. With a sarcastic smile, she shakes her head.
• "You finally found a way, huh. To punish me for Tia." It falls out of her mouth thoughtlessly, her inner voice speaking out, and his head shoots up to look at her with a frown.
• "Who's Tia?" He asks impulsively, and Sophia closes her eyes at him, saying her name, hating how it sounds on his lips. A name she never told him, never uttered to a single soul. He never knew about it because she's never dared to say it out loud since the moment she let her leave her body. He said they didn't name her, but he didn't know.
