What the hell is this! Mabel was speechless. "Fine, fine, I promise you. As long as you don't lay a hand on Atlas, I won't say anything like that again."

"Don't fall in love with anyone else. You and I depend on each other to survive…" he murmured. "In this lifetime, the only person you're allowed to love is me."
