if she didn’t love him?

words..

“May you and Mr. Ziegler be happy and forever in love.”

her like this.

impossible for us now. Let me go.”

Eleanor frowned. “If you know, why won’t you let me go?”
He lowered his head, his eyes flashing coldly. “What about Garett if you leave with him?”

Garett?”
