“Daemon. She gave you the name, didn’t she?” Jade questioned; | didn’t give her a response; | knew exactly
what she was getting at. “What was really going through your mind when you hadlocked up? Did you think
she would leave everything behind and fall in love with you, and you both would have a family?”
“Stop talking about her.”
“You still care? Even after everything.” She said and chuckled.
