“What?” I can barely think.

“That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.”

But it is yours.” He walks to the door to the royal chambers, as though to end the conversation. “You probably guessed as much,” he says. “But just in case you didn’t.”

“The next time you want to make a point,' Jude says, 'I beg you not to make it so dramatically.'
