Chapter 65

• "I regret, Valarie. I really wanted to help you, and you cannot imagine how I have suffered too since I kept allowing you to suffer," he said with regret laden in his tone.
• "Exactly, you did nothing. And you can't do anything for me, Arthur, until you and I are stuck in this dark world." Her voice dropped to a whisper, and she said, "The one I knew, who was my best friend, my savior, my first love... was Alastair. But you are Arthur."
• Arthur's eyes travelled over Valarie's face, and he knew that she knew. The world knew him as Arthur, but to Valarie, he would always be Alastair.
