Sophia Mahoney
"Sophia, I want to be a part of your life if you will let me. I want a relationship - a real relationship with you and only you - no one else." He cups her face, studying her eyes for an answer. "You are my mate. This is new territory for me. But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work. However, you must trust me and be honest, and most of all, you must learn to ask for clarification when you don't understand something."
"Did you just tell me I need to be honest?" A flicker of anger flashes across her eyes. "Or that I need to ask for clarification, really?" She tries to shove him away from her frame. "Aden, a relationship takes two people. You can't do the things you've been doing."
"I've only tried to help."
