Chapter 128

Connor POV

I had been merely existing until that day, barely that. But then, as a voice in a blocked off part of my mind whispered, ‘Her. It’s her. There you are. I’ve been looking for you, waiting for you,’ I actually breathed for the first time in my life. Tasted the air and life I’d just been gifted. Saw colors for what felt like the first time, and so vividly. Felt the blackened, rotting, frozen heart inside my chest thaw before it finally started beating. She had brought me to life, given me life, and she’d never even know it, never have an inkling of what she had done-the irreversible, an inescapable earth-shattering shift she had set into motion within me without even trying.
