7.22 Revenge

Camila walked with Cillian to the dining room. Cillian took Lucas' hand and said, "Let's go walk the garden." Lucas followed him. Camila was about to ask if they could talk when Espen took her hand and led her to the living room.

Camila sat nervously on the couch, looking at Espen as he sat next to her.

"Camila," Espen said, breaking the silence. "I need to tell you something. I've been holding it in for so long, but I can't keep it to myself anymore."

Camila looked at him, her heart racing. "What is it?" she asked, barely able to breathe.

"I love you," Espen said, his voice soft and tender. "I've loved you since the moment I saw you. That night we spent together was the best night of my life, and not just because of the sex. It was because I was with you. I know you said that it would be best to act as though it never happened, but I can't. Every second of that night is seared in my mind."
