Chapter 60: I'll go by myself
Erik's POV
Surprisingly, Clara leaned into my touch when we were watching the basement burn, but she coldly left my touch after that. I couldn't understand how much Clara sank, but I knew she was barely keeping it in. I have been thinking about my next moves, I want to avoid making the same mistake twice, but this time it is hard for me to sink it in.
"You know where that basement leads to"
Clara's words replayed in my mind. I know what I have to do, I have respected and adored him, but now, all of it seems so fake. With Clara's face lingering in my mind, my decision is final. Even if we drifted apart, she is still my soulmate.
