Saul wasn’t stupid, he knew that Farah had changed. But she had also died and come back from the dead; it would be strange if she hadn’t come back changed in some way. It was also true, however, that her death had driven him right into madness. Not a day had passed when he hadn’t tried to bring her back with a blood ritual. Ben had voiced his concerns before but he could not be helped.
The moment she approached him, his eyes were on her, taking her all in. A shiver ran down his spine as she cupped his face. How could this not be their Farah when she felt the same? “I know. I told him the same.” He reached out then, taking her hand in his. “He also said you don’t care about me, that you’re only manipulating me. I know you would never do that.”
No, Farah would never do this to him, would never take advantage of him like that. Rosalind must have twisted Ben’s mind, he had no other explanation for this.
