Liam
Why do you stay until you see blood?
Why does the weight fall upon us?
Why does the weight fall upon us?
Thalassa seemed surprised. Shocked, even. And maybe Liam was, too, because he blinked at her sudden query before tilting his head back, locking his gaze on the tree boughs stretching far overhead. He had every right to be angry, to hate Thalassa for what she had done...
And yet...
"I guess... it feels like hating you would be giving the power back to them," he said at last, referring to the Family. "If it weren't for the Family and what they did, then I'd like to think you wouldn't have done what you did. Being angry at you is... misplaced. If I give in to that, then it's just one more way the Family can ruin me, and they're not even here anymore. I don't want to live like that." Hazel eyes fell to Thalassa, a question in their depths. Whether he was making any sense remained to be seen, but the fact remained: he'd accept a truce if she would.
