I found this chapter so hard. I cried for Gideon after he attacked Eva again. His whole demeanour when he left her apartment was of a broken man. So sad.
I don't have a favourite passage, but one that does stand out is this
"I never gave you the key to my place, you just took it" I cupped his hand between both of mine, placing my gift in his palm. " I'm giving it to you now."
Stepping back, I released him, watching as he looked down at the gleaming monogrammed fob with my apartment key on it. It was the best way I could think of to show him that it belonged to him and that it was given freely.
His hand fisted, losing tightly around my gift. After a long minute, he looked up at me and I saw the tears that wet his face."no" I whispered , my heart breaking further. I cupped his face in my hands, my thumbs brushing over his cheekbones, "please don't".
Gideon caught me up, his lips pressing to mine. "I don't know how to walk away."
So sad. :(
