“No,”I agree.
My voice drops.
Cold.
Certain.
“She won’t.”
And that’s the problem.
Because Mila doesn’t surrender.
She doesn’t hesitate.
She doesn’t break.
She burns.
And if they corner her—
She’ll take everything down with her.
Including herself.
My grip tightens on the keys.
“That’s not happening.”
Ronan tilts his head slightly.
“Then we’d better move.”
I step forward.
Pain screaming.
Body threatening to give out.
I don’t let it.
Because this isn’t about me anymore.
It never was.
“She thinks she’s protecting me,” I say.
More to myself now.
Cal glances over.
“And she’s wrong.”
I look up.
Meet his eyes.
“Yeah,” I say.
