Chapter 32 The Offer

• I want Sirius to stop saying marriage. I want him to stop saying we in relation to him and Claudia. I want time to stop and for him never to say the phrase “rekindle our marriage”. I want to stop feeling this ache in my chest that no matter how hard I rub, it will not go away.
• Claudia takes a deep breath, regaining some of her composure. “Fine. But there will be conditions.”
• “Name them,” Sirius says, his voice steady.
