Chapter 81. Won’t Know What Hit Him

“You are never going to be normal again. You stopped being normal the second you left Atkins with me.”

I knew that. “It’s not the fact that you’re here with me, it’s the fact that he didn’t ask me. He never considered my feelings or how this arrangement would change my life.”

Virgil shook his head, looking down at his phone. “And did you consider it from his perspective? You’re the most important thing in the world to him. Do you think he’d forgive himself if he didn’t protect you, knowing there’s someone out there following you, and something happened?”

His eyes darted in my direction and I shook my head. Damn him for making some sense and damn him again for smiling about it.

“He still could have asked. He gave me no choice.”

“I don’t think that’s true either. All I’ve heard from you these past two weeks are your complaints about his ultimatum. But he did give you a choice. Granted, you might not have liked either option. It was still a choice.”
