CHAPTER 67

'You should learn to fuse your ambitions and the contradictions in your heart, Joaquin.'

'It was never your future self but a version of 'you' that you had always desired to be.'

Penelope's cold fingers wrapped against his. He sighed loudly. "Lance is in trouble. We need to turn."

"What?" Penelope turned her head to Lance's direction. Joaquin continued to explain.
