ZEDKIEL.

I’m about to run after her, but Kash blocks my path. The crushing pain in my chest is unbearable. Her words ring in my mind and the repercussions that they carried, sting.

I’m losing my mind. I need her. I can’t imagine life without her.

All I can think of is Evangeline. I need her by my side.

“Move aside, Kash!” I snarl warningly, grabbing him by the neck.

“Ten minutes Zed. Give her a moment to breathe.” He stands by his words and if he wasn’t fucking dying already, I’d kill him myself.
