At that very moment in which I was taken to Beauchamp estate by Lune, when I had vulnerably surrendered myself to Tobias, I had only seen misery as graver as mine in his eyes, which was why I struggled to put my faith in Kai’s report of the same event with clashing details, for he claimed that his younger brother had wanted to carve my heart out of my chest.
Mulling over the difference between what I had observed on Tobias’s face and what had been accounted for by his older brother, I tossed and turned, inducing an equal amount of restlessness in the companion beside me. Having been woken up by my constant movements, he thought it best to carp out his frustrations about it than hold it in, for the guy had no pity for my nerves.
