Chapter 29

• [ZARINA]
• I have no sense of what’s happening. One moment I was apologizing and the next we were kissing. I am kissing. This was not something I had in mind at the time I ascended the stairs and called out to him, asking him not to change too. Told him he was nowhere like Vladimir. It just...just happened.
• My mind is completely blank. I have no sane inkling of how I should react or act. Other than this voice echoing inside, screaming to kiss him back.
