Edmund's eyes widened. "She what?"
"She told me to let her go once all of this was over." His tone was controlled, too controlled—like a dam barely holding back an overwhelming flood.
A thick silence filled the space between them.
Edmund let out a breath, shaking his head. "That's all the more reason you should make a move now before it's too late... Maybe you might change her mind."
