I shook my head hard. No, I don’t want that! I’d only recently gotten my emotions under control. I wasn’t that bulletproof. It faded. —Empress?— I don’t want to see him. I can’t. I couldn’t handle any more rabbit holes! —I feel your heart; it actually aches.— The same words he’d told me on the night Jack had confessed his feelings to me.””
