Chapter 41

"Why would she do it? I loved her...." Surprisingly, that was what he was really focused on. Going through Annie's mind was like going through a labyrinth designed by a madman, but I did get a good look around. All the memories were just emerging, hitting me one by one, triggered by Jonathan questions, even those he didn't dare to ask.

"Well, I guess you did. But you were kind of playboy then," I smiled at the thought, remembering him as Annie did. And he was a bit of a player. Oh, he would have been a cute thing to play with, when he was alive. Focus. Focus on the problem.

"She was not sure you would pay her enough attention, so she used a spell to get you."

"I really loved her, it was not some kind of spell."

"You are right, actually. The spell didn't make you fall in love, but would not let you break the bond. And well, since you are kind of half dead, half alive, it sort of backfired." Jonathan let me hand go.
