“You’re lying.” I tip her chin up. It’s a bad idea to turn my back to an empty hallway, where the enemy could be lying in wait,but right now, I don’t give a s**t. All I care about is searching for the truth in the sky blue of Mia’s eyes. “You’ve been minesince the day I met you.”
She swallows. I can feel her throat work against the back of my hand. “It’s over, Yulian,” she rasps. “It was never real. Itcouldn’t be.”
“I’ll decide what was real.”
“I’m getting Eli,” I say. “Then you’re going to get in my car, and we’re going to talk at your apartment. You’re free to dowhatever you want after that.”
Mia’s eyes widen with terror as I start turning back to the glass room. I follow the scared flick of her gaze, take a step towardsthe shadows—
Ti
