Even after leaving her behind in Paradis without so much as an explanation, even after the carnage and chaos he had unleashed on Marley, there she was, peering at him through the bars of his cell with as much adoration as she had always held for him.

She reached her arm through the metal columns tentatively, to place a hand on his bare chest. “Please say something.”
