SHOCK WAS THE first thing I felt when I saw him in the grand hall. I thought my mind was playing tricks on me because, first of all, he didn't know who I really was. He never let me explain. Second, I don't know how he got in. Our guards are strict, and if he trespasses, he will definitely end up at the cemetery. And third, why would he come here? And as if that wasn't enough, Hector came. Oh my God. Today is just terrible.
"Charlotte, I—"
"Oh, you remember my name? That's impressive considering you didn't listen to me," I scoffed.
"Could you just listen to me, please?"
"What for? Aren't we done? You ended it. So what are you doing here?"
"If you could just listen—"
"You're just wasting your time," I clipped.
"Charlotte, hear me out first."
"Are you trying to tell me what to do?"
