Chapter 149 Catherine

• The week before Patrick’s departure is bittersweet. I still have not entirely forgiven him for the forced tracker implants—or for the bracelet embedded with yet another tracker he made me start wearing a couple of days later.

Everyone except me, that is. The fact that he clings to me with such brutal possessiveness may be overwhelming at times, but it’s also an indication of his feelings.
• His love for me is wrong and perverse in many ways, but it’s no less real because of that.
