WINTER BRAY I cried. Cried my eyes out. Why did I tell him? It was stupid of me to do such a thing. The worst thing was, he didn't say it back. He stood with wide eyes, frozen. My heart shattered. My chest felt so hollow, empty. Like knives had stabbed me, but the wound didn't get treated. A sense of certainty invaded as I was pretty sure that it was over. I had no control over my words. I spoke the truth. Theo was stuck in the past, and I doubted that he would want a future with me in the end. If it was a choice between a future with me, or getting Dimitri killed, then I would lose. I felt dumb for crying. For letting Theo's reaction affect me so much. I shook my head while wiping away my tears. I had nowhere to go besides our room, so now I was sitting on the bed. I had locked the door
