Yet, the King found a few problems he wants to be changed before he signs off on it. He informed me that he wants Jake to run the whole thing. I can't think of anyone better. Except maybe Vincent Wolfe, but he's got enough problems if he's calling Violet back to Magique City.

"You've been quiet," Lillies says after a while. I glance over to her in the passenger seat.

"Am I not always?"

"Not like this." Bunny squeezes between the seats.

Darren is dead. Maybe wrap your mind around the fact that he's never coming back, Bunny says and receives a smack to the forehead from her sister. I growl at the two of them when they begin to play fight. At least, I hope they were playfighting, "I quite literally devoted my life to making as many people

I just didn't think I'd live long enough to realize what it is I had done. Letting things go has never been part of who I am. I sure as fuck never once considered letting Darren go. In life or in death. He was mine and I was his. That's all
