Chapter 417: It's All Lies

Georgia's POV:

"We won't have as long together as we did last time," Mick is saying wistfully.

My eyes don't leave his but I don't respond. If I did, I'd probably say something I shouldn't.

His hand is in my hair. It's not gentle as his fingers tighten around the strands and pull. I don't resist, allowing his pull to guide my head, so that I'm closer to him now.

"Last time, we'd barely even started when they came for you."

I don't know what he wants. It's as if he expects me to feel disappointed. I can promise you I'm not. I was delighted when John carried me out of that hellhole.

"Not this time though," Mick is still talking, "this time we're going to make the most of our time together. And then I'm going to kill you, just in time for your boyfriend to come find you."

Darren lets out a sound at Mick's use of the word boyfriend. It doesn't escape Mick's notice either. His eyes light up in response.
