CHAPTER 133

　　"Would you rather live a life away from me?" he raised his eyebrows. Stefan took my other hand and squeezed it. His touch felt good. I wanted to lean against his chest and sleep.

　　"Live?" I smiled. The smile was fake. "You and I know I won't last long in this world, Stefan. It doesn't make sense."

　　"Don't say that!" He let go of my hands and covered his ears. He sighed in frustration.

　　"It's the truth. Do you see any improvements? The curse is consuming me, Stefan. I feel it every day when I look in the mirror. I'm not the same person anymore. I'm fading away. I'm dying."

　　"No..." He rubbed his face. Stefan looked away. He didn't want to see me. I felt bad because I didn't want him to ignore me. But seconds later, I realized Stefan was crying.

　　"Are you... crying?" I raised my eyebrows. A lump formed in my throat.

　　I took Stefan's face in my hands and looked into his eyes. Stefan had tears in his eyes.

　　"Stefan... You're crying."
