….hes still a murderer

“So that’s it?” she asks. “You’re choosing him over your career? Over me?”
I look at Mom’s tear-streaked face and feel my chest tighten. The words catch in my throat, but I force them out. “I was hoping you might... stay.” My voice cracks. “Here. With us.”
Mom’s mouth drops open. “With you and—and the murderer?”
“Axel,” I correct her gently. “And yes.”

Goodbye

I’m already annoyed with this book. She literally goes into this job already obsessed with the MMC. I thought I was going to be a case of she’s just doing her job and he has to work to get her to break her oath or whatever, but nah from page 1 she went into this job obsessing over this man already.
