Re: SMOL TIMES TWO
Julia's face crumbled. It was ten years of dreams decimated. Was it love? Julia had told herself it was love. Was it ambition? The heart break was physically painful, radiating from her chest, regardless.
"No." Denial was her first defense. "You're lying. The bond didn't work. You're fucking with me."
It took every stubborn cell in her body, but Julia refused to cry on principle. She wouldn't give Loki the satisfaction. Her eyes were red, but she kept them open, unblinking as if any excess moisture would just evaporate.
