Chapter 64

“Stop, Booth, can’t you see it doesn’t matter?”

My chest heaved with a deep sigh of defeat.

“I’m in here,” I gestured around at the cell. “I may as well be dead to you.”

“No, Bri,” Booth’s determined voice caused me to finally look at him. “As long as you are alive, there will always be hope.”

His voice was filled with such belief that it almost made me dizzy.

He continued to stare at me as if he hadn’t once removed his gaze from mine even though I had looked away and when our eyes met, he spoke on, “I know you’ll probably never forgive me for all I’ve done since you left, but I need you to know that I’ll never stop caring for you.”

I was about to avert my eyes again when he quickly spoke up once more, “Brianna, please believe me. I’m going to get you out of here, no matter what it takes.”

“If you really mean that then there’s something, I need you to do for me.”
