Hunter leans his head onto Verity's head. "She and I were very close for nearly a year. And that whole time... I had the thought in the back of my head that she was the 'true love' who would break my curse."

"There are some moments when... I worry that that I had walked away from the only 'true love' I would ever have. And that my heart will always have this missing piece because of that."

He has to take a moment to wipe away a stray tear from his eyes. Then he returns his focus to her situation. "He will see that he is a better man one day. And when he does... he will think of you. And how you influenced him."
