“Alice, who is it?”

“Jasper, it’s…”

“I think they want to separate us,” I murmured.

“That’s not ever going to happen. I pledge to always, no matter what, be with you. I swear, Alice, we’ll never be apart.”

“I think their plan is to destroy us. Like, maybe the whole vision about you, whatever it is, is part of their plot.”
