[ Nate shakes his head, punctuating his words, and there's no disguising the distaste in his mouth for this next part. ]
He said, "you actually did it". I don't think he was planning to leave me all along, I think he wanted to talk me out of it. And when I did it, that's when he called it quits.
But the thing is, that's...it's exactly the kind of shit my family would pull. He said that he doesn't think we're right for each other. That's where I think he's right, honestly. I can't be with someone whose price for being with me is that I use my magic only how they think I should. It's the very thing I was trying to escape when I wanted to leave home.
I just never thought that was Stephen. Especially considering he knew my plans when he signed that contract. I thought that meant he'd accepted what I was doing, not that he was just hoping to manipulate me out of it.
