ZAIA. I stare down at the mark. It’s almost the same as mine, Val’s and Atticus’s, but there’s one thing that sticks out to me. The triangular point is facing downwards… Where all of ours has an upside-down V that forms a triangle shape, his is like an inverted version of ours. More so, somehow it just looks more… sinister? 1

I’m not sure if it’s the correct word, but deep down I feel as if something isn’t right. This mark was not on him before. I’ve seen this man naked countless times, kissed his neck right here so many times…

“How do you forget to mention something so vital? It literally takes two minutes to share something like that! I mean, it doesn’t even take a minute! That’s not something you can just brush off, Sebastian!” I say, wringing my hands, exasperated. “At this rate, who knows. what else you might have forgotten to mention!” 2
