"It started off very slow for my liking, but after a week of taking a break from it, I am so invested in the story. I literally take it everywhere with me.
I am more interested in how the battle of wills between Adam and Darius is going to resolve itself.
I am also rooting for a few people, Liam, Nelly and Meredith❤️💕🌹" — May 12, 2026 11:57PM

I will make your move to Stockholm as painless as possible. I guarantee you, Kemi.”
