#Chapter36

/"Just a dinner party/"

/"But you did come here for something specific, isn't that right, Seth?/" she kept going, eyes boring into mine, and I felt like I can't lie to her face anymore. I swallowed, trying to find a way around the question, but after all, I just nodded.

/"Please... leave with me/" she begged with her whole expression, holding on tighter to my shoulder. I took a deep breath, for a second, considering her request... Probably just because of the moment though, the whole thing felt like a surreal dream... as if it was just some sort of vision, of a world, where I am someone else. Where I grew up to be someone else.

Was there no hope for me to go with her? Giving up my revenge, leaving Jude, leaving this mess behind me? But what would I do? Go back to the miserable life I had before? Pretending I'm this good guy, who I really wasn't?
