• I didn't make it excessively far in light of the fact that Charles immediately opened his room entryway and hauled me back in. Notwithstanding my fights, he shut the entryway not long prior to locking it. He pushed me against the entryway very much like he had previously. Just this time, he didn't hold me, he gazed at me somewhere down in my eyes.
• "I won't cry a tear if you passed on. I would love anything and I wouldn't give a solitary fuck," he said. I quit attempting to feel the swelling of his words, as a matter of fact. "...because I wouldn't have any chance to. I'd be too freaking occupied with killing the bastard."
