Chapter 35

• Liam:
• I stayed with Claire until she finally drifted off. Until, despite herself, she allowed her body to give in to the exhaustion.
• Her body was still trembling when I laid her back against the pillows, her eyes glassy and exhausted. Her body was drained and I knew that everything that she said was going to keep playing in my mind. It was not going to leave me as easily as I wanted it to because deep down, the regret that she felt was one that I couldn't help but find myself feeling pain for.
