That she had gained this and lost it again, and still couldn’t find the reason why, made it hard for Belle to finish the sentence. But she owed him that much.

“Adam, for a moment you were human again.”As soon as Belle began talking, Adam's frame grew still. His heart was pounding hard inside his chest as she warned him to let her finish. When his ( Read more... )

It had taken far too long for Adam to finally snap out of his apathetic state, but when he did, the fear, confusion, and anger had hit him with colossal force.
