Drake carried Debra downstairs on his back.
A warm teardrop hit his shoulder. He frowned, glancing sideways at her unconscious face. Even when she passed
out, her brows stayed furrowed. Tears kept soaking into his shirt.
"What a fool," he muttered.
Andrew slumped against the wall. The tiny attic room glowed with remnants of Debra's childhood. This had been
her sanctuary years ago.
Back then, when her parents were busy with business, they'd leave her at the Potter Mansion for weeks. Young
Debra's first word wasn't Mama or Papa. It was Brother.
She'd trailed him everywhere like a shadow.

clinging to sweet memories. Now they were daggers waiting to stab her heart. They shouldn't exist anymore.
