Short filmTranscript
00:00I was reborn seven days before my mating ceremony.
00:04This time, I was the one who handed the drugged glass of wine to Grace, my fated Alpha's adoptive sister.
00:11In my past life, I was the one who drank that wine.
00:15It sent me into a wild, drug-fueled haze with Aaron.
00:20But he was convinced it was all a scheme to trap him.
00:24After all, my father's pack had fallen.
00:26To him, I was just a desperate, scheming she-wolf trying to lock him down.
00:31Even after we were mated, he remained cold and distant.
00:36He took Grace to every event where the Luna should have been by his side.
00:41During a battle with a rival pack, he even abandoned me as I lay dying from a silver blade, just
00:48to run to a frightened Grace.
00:50I died, filled with bitterness.
00:53So this time around, the Luna's suite, the ceremonial necklace, Aaron himself, Grace can have it all.
01:02But on the day of the ceremony, when I didn't show up, the ever-composed Alpha Aaron lost his mind
01:10searching for me.
01:11Light from the crystal chandelier was blinding.
01:14Aaron, my chest feels so tight.
01:17A delicate voice pulled me back to reality.
01:21I was at my welcome dinner, hosted by the Blackwood Pack.
01:25Across the long table, my fated mate, Aaron, was holding his adoptive sister, Grace, his eyes filled with concern.
01:34Have you been in here too long?
01:36Don't worry.
01:37We'll leave soon.
01:39Aaron's voice was impossibly gentle.
01:42He'd never spoken to me with that tone.
01:45Not in this life, or the last.
01:48I looked down at a glass of wine in front of me.
01:51In my past life, I drank it without a second thought, clueless that it was laced with a potent aphrodisiac.
01:57Aaron, who had also been drugged, and I spent the night in a wild haze.
02:02I woke up the next day, sore all over.
02:06I wasn't ready, but I figured we were fated mates anyway.
02:10Being intimate a little early couldn't be that bad, but a sober Aaron looked at me like I was his
02:16worst enemy.
02:17Just because your veins pack has fallen, you're this desperate to trap me with such a low blow?
02:25He'd spat, his hand tightening around my throat, his eyes filled with raw disgust.
02:30From then on, even after we were mated, he treated me with cold indifference.
02:35He'd take Grace to every event a Luna was supposed to attend, leaving me to show up alone, ridiculed as
02:43a pretty ornament.
02:44When I confronted him in a rage, he just brushed me off.
02:49Grace is my sister.
02:52You're overthinking things.
02:54Besides, as a Luna, can't you be less petty?
02:59Sister.
03:00What a pathetic excuse.
03:02It wasn't until the rival pack's surprise attack.
03:06I can still feel the icy, searing pain of the silver blade piercing my stomach.
03:11I collapsed in a pool of my own blood, reaching for him in despair.
03:15But my Alpha, he left me for dead, rushing to a terrified Grace and pulling her into a tight embrace.
03:22Before I died, I saw him look back at me in panic.
03:27He stumbled toward me, tears glistening in his eyes.
03:30But it was too late.
03:32I took my last bitter breath.
04:02But now, I'm back.
04:04Drunk, carefully helped her out of the hall.
04:06My intended mate was being so intimate with another she-wolf, and the others shot me pitying glances.
04:13But to their disappointment, my expression was a perfect mask.
04:17I'd seen this play out a thousand times in my past life.
04:21My heart was numb to it.
04:24After everyone had left, I found the Blackwood Pack's elder.
04:28I'm calling off the union.
04:30The elder froze for a second, then his brow furrowed.
04:34What are you talking about?
04:36This alliance was arranged by your father and us.
04:40It's not for you to break off.
04:41I gave a scornful laugh, but that was when my father's pack was still strong, wasn't it?
04:48I know why you're still clinging to this agreement.
04:54I took out a black velvet pouch.
04:57Inside was an ancient, wolf-shaped moonstone that glowed with a faint blue light.
05:04It's this you're after, isn't it?
05:07The elder's eyes flickered, and he wouldn't meet my gaze.
05:11It was a treasure passed down through my Vance Pack for generations,
05:15and the real prize the Blackwood Pack wanted from this alliance.
05:22I can give it to you.
05:24My condition is that you cancel the alliance and let me leave Blackwood Territory.
05:30The elder gritted his teeth, and after a long, tense moment, he finally nodded.
05:37Fine. I'll prepare the termination agreement. Give me seven days.
05:42My heart pounded in my chest.
05:44Just seven days, and I'd be free.
05:49But...
05:49The elder's eyes narrowed, pinning me in place.
05:53Even if I help you leave, what am I supposed to tell the alpha when his luma suddenly goes missing
05:59on the day of the ceremony?
06:02I looked at him and smiled faintly.
06:05I'll give him a mate he'll be satisfied with.
06:09That night, I pushed open the heavy doors of Aaron's manor.
06:15The hall was brightly lit, but eerily silent.
06:19The servants kept their heads bowed, barely daring to breathe.
06:24The aggressive sense of two different pheromones still hung heavy in the air.
06:30One was Aaron's, commanding and fierce like any alpha.
06:34The other was Grace's, clyingly sweet scent of arousal.
06:38On the second floor, the door to the luna's suite, the one meant for me, was wide open.
06:46I slowly walked up the stairs, the click of my heels echoing on the marble.
06:51All the top guards and pack elders were gathered at the door.
06:55When they saw me, the crowd parted, making a path.
07:00Their eyes were a mixture of pity, curiosity, and the smug anticipation of a good show.
07:06I kept my eyes forward and walked straight to the doorway.
07:10The scene inside was even more of a mess than I'd imagined.
07:13On the lovish velvet bed, the sheets were a tangled wreck.
07:18Grace was slumped on the carpet, her clothes in tatters.
07:22Her once delicate white dress was ripped, revealing large patches of pale skin and angry red marks.
07:29Aaron, Grace sobbed, her face streaked with tears as she clung to his pant leg.
07:35Last night, last night we...
07:39Her teary eyes scanning the crowd before landing on me with a look of pure defiance.
07:44Now everyone knows what am I going to do.
07:47Her words were a clear ploy to pressure him into making her his mate.
07:52But Aaron, standing by the bed with his jaw tight and his chest heaving, didn't look happy at all.
07:58Wasn't he always wrapped around Grace's little finger?
08:02Stop talking nonsense, Grace.
08:06Aaron gently helped Grace to her feet, but his words weren't what she wanted to hear.
08:11Last night was an accident.
08:13Besides, we didn't go all the way.
08:15He shattered her little fantasy without a hint of mercy.
08:19I raised an eyebrow.
08:21That was unexpected.
08:24In my past life, he'd had no problem letting things run their course with me.
08:30Why, with Grace, did he use his alpha self-control to stop himself?
08:36But Aaron...
08:37Grace's face went pale, her eyes wide with disbelief.
08:42Quiet!
08:43Aaron snapped.
08:45I've already looked into it.
08:47The wine was drugged.
08:49I'll find out who is behind this, and they will pay.
08:54Aaron...
08:54Grace sobbed, her face streaked with tears as she clung to his pant leg.
09:01Last night...
09:02Last night, we...
09:04Her teary eyes scanning the crowd before landing on me with a look of pure defiance.
09:09Now everyone knows what am I going to do.
09:12Her words were a clear ploy to pressure him into making her his mate.
09:17But Aaron, standing by the bed with his jaw tight and his chest heaving, didn't look happy at all.
09:23Wasn't he always wrapped around Grace's little finger?
09:27Stop talking nonsense, Grace.
09:31Aaron gently helped Grace to her feet, but his words weren't what she wanted to hear.
09:36Last night was an accident.
09:38Besides, we didn't go all the way.
09:40He shattered her little fantasy without a hint of mercy.
09:43I raised an eyebrow.
09:46That was unexpected.
09:49In my past life, he'd had no problem letting things run their course with me.
09:55Why, with Grace, did he use his alpha self-control to stop himself?
10:00But Aaron...
10:01Grace's face went pale, her eyes wide with disbelief.
10:07Quiet!
10:08Aaron snapped.
10:10I've already looked into it.
10:12The wine was drugged.
10:14I'll find out who was behind this, and they will pay.
10:19At that, Grace's face turned even whiter.
10:22Just then, Aaron saw me standing in the back.
10:25For a split second, I saw clear panic and guilt flash in his eyes.
10:30He strode toward me, reaching out as if to grab my hand, but stopped himself mid-air.
10:36Victoria, let me explain.
10:38It's not what it looks like.
10:40Nothing actually happened last night.
10:42I spent the whole night pouring cold water over myself.
10:46He sounded desperate to prove his innocence.
10:49My mate will only be you.
10:52The ceremony in seven days won't change.
10:55Nothing will change.
10:56He announced it loudly, in front of everyone.
10:59Was this a promise to me?
11:01Or a way to save face?
11:03Looking at his supposedly sincere face, all I felt was a bitter, ironic laugh bubbling up inside me.
11:10If this had been my past life, I might have been moved to tears by his words.
11:15Oh, I said flatly, taking a step back to put some distance between us.
11:21No hysterical accusations.
11:22No tearful forgiveness.
11:25My eyes were as calm and still as a dead lake.
11:29I couldn't be bothered to give him even a shred of emotion.
11:34Aaron froze.
11:35His outstretched hand hung awkwardly in the air.
11:39The panic in his eyes slowly turned to confusion, then to poorly hidden anger.
11:45Is that your only reaction?
11:48He hissed, his voice low.
11:51I suffered through a whole night of torture for you.
11:54And you don't have a single word of concern?
11:56Not even a hint of jealous?
12:00What reaction should I have?
12:03I asked calmly.
12:06Congratulations on passing the test.
12:08You!
12:09Aaron choked on his anger, a vein throbbing on his forehead.
12:12Just then, Grace, unwilling to be ignored, shakily got to her feet.
12:18She clutched a torn jacket around herself and stumbled toward us.
12:23I'm so sorry, Victoria.
12:25She said, her eyes red.
12:27It's all my fault.
12:29Brother and I just got a little carried away last night and we...
12:35We ruined extra the suite that was prepared.
12:38She put emphasis on the word ruined, her defiant gaze flicking to the messy bed.
12:44But I just gave the bed a bored glance.
12:47It's fine.
12:48I wasn't planning on staying here anyway.
12:52Fine.
12:53Just fine.
12:55Aaron sneered.
12:56He turned to Grace.
12:59In that case, Grace, you'll stay in this suite from now on.
13:03And no one is to move you out without my permission.
13:07Grace couldn't suppress a delighted gasp.
13:10I had already lost interest in the show.
13:12I found an empty guest room and had a peaceful night's sleep.
13:16Early the next morning, Aaron knocked on my door.
13:21Victoria, we need to talk.
13:23Aaron came to a stop in front of me, his gaze heavy.
13:27You were acting strange last night.
13:30Why do you suddenly not care about anything?
13:33I stopped what I was doing and met his eyes calmly.
13:36Don't care?
13:37I let out a small, mocking laugh.
13:40Isn't this what you always wanted?
13:43A calm, magnanimous mate?
13:46My words shut him up.
13:48He was right.
13:50Whenever I had expressed my discomfort about his closeness with Grace, he would say,
13:55Victoria, when will you learn to be a little more calm and magnanimous?
14:02A flicker of shock crossed his face.
14:05He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
14:08Now that I was giving him what he wanted, he couldn't handle it?
14:12You.
14:13Aaron sighed, looking defeated.
14:15I didn't come here to fight.
14:17He tugged at his tie, annoyed, and looked away.
14:23Grace's wolf was damaged a long time ago.
14:27I've been looking for a way to heal her.
14:30I watched his little performance with cold eyes, already knowing where this was going.
14:38And I asked flatly.
14:42I need the moon petal herb.
14:44He finally got to the point, holding out his hand as if he had every right to it.
14:49I know you have it.
14:51You know she saved my life once.
14:53If it weren't for her, I would have died in Arrival Pax territory.
14:56I owe her, and I have to repay that debt.
15:00As my future Luna, you'll understand, right?
15:05The moon petal herb, one of the last remaining treasures of the Vance family, famous for its
15:11ability to heal a wolf's core.
15:13A flicker of shock crossed his face.
15:15He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
15:18Now that I was giving him what he wanted, he couldn't handle it?
15:22You.
15:23Aaron sighed, looking defeated.
15:26I didn't come here to fight.
15:28He tugged at his tie, annoyed, and looked away.
15:34Grace's wolf was damaged a long time ago.
15:38I've been looking for a way to heal her.
15:41I watched his little performance with cold eyes, already knowing where this was going.
15:48And?
15:49I asked flatly.
15:52I need the moon petal herb.
15:55He finally got to the point, holding out his hand as if he had every right to it.
16:00I know you have it.
16:02You know she saved my life once.
16:04If it weren't for her, I would have died in a rival pack's territory.
16:07I owe her, and I have to repay that debt.
16:10As my future Luna.
16:13You'll understand, right?
16:16The moon petal herb, one of the last remaining treasures of the Vance family, famous for its
16:22ability to heal a wolf's core.
16:24In my past life, when he asked me for it, I agreed without a second's hesitation.
16:29Anything to please him, to prove how magnanimous I could be.
16:33But now, I no longer had to play the part of the perfect mate.
16:37You can have the moon petal herb, I said, my smile vanishing as my eyes sharpened.
16:44But I don't make losing bargains.
16:48Aaron stared, clearly not expecting me to set conditions.
16:52What do you want?
16:53He asked, frowning.
16:55I want the Blackwood Pack's most valuable commercial property in the city center, I said,
17:01each word clear and firm.
17:03Sign the transfer agreement.
17:05Full ownership in my name.
17:07You get the herb when I get the deed.
17:10It was one of the Blackwood Pack's most important assets.
17:15With it, I wouldn't be starting from scratch when I left this place.
17:20Aaron stared at me, his expression unreadable.
17:24Then, suddenly, he laughed.
17:27Victoria, was this entire act just for this?
17:30He crossed his arms, looking like he'd solved a great mystery.
17:34You deliberately acted like you didn't care about Grace.
17:38Even E gave her the luniswit.
17:40And now you're testing my limits with these outrageous demands.
17:45He stepped closer.
17:46His gaze locked on mine, full of self-satisfaction.
17:51You're acting cold to get my attention.
17:54You're making these outrageous demands because you don't really want to give Grace the herb.
17:58His smile grew wider.
18:02Victoria, you still care about me, don't you?
18:05His logic was as arrogant as ever.
18:08Think whatever you want, I said, too tired to explain.
18:12My voice was ice.
18:14Yes or no?
18:16Yes.
18:17Of course, yes.
18:19Aaron agreed without hesitation.
18:21His eyes filled with a patronizing smile.
18:24It's just a piece of property.
18:26Consider it an early wedding gift.
18:29As long as you behave and stop throwing tantrums.
18:34He thought he had figured out an insecure woman.
18:37He had no idea.
18:39He was personally funding my escape.
18:43The papers will be here tomorrow, Aaron said, his mood suddenly improving.
18:48He straightened his jacket.
18:50And get ready.
18:52The PAC Alliance annual gala is the day after tomorrow.
18:55As my intended mate, you have to be there with me.
18:59Before I could refuse, the door treaked open.
19:04Grace stood there, smiling at Aaron.
19:08Brother, does this dress look good on me?
19:13Her smile was bright.
19:15As if last night had never happened.
19:18She was wearing a stunning, star-dusted, deep V blue gown.
19:23The one I'd seen in the Luna Suites closet.
19:27Aaron obviously realized she was wearing the dress meant for me.
19:31He just frowned for a moment, then gave me a placating smile.
19:38Don't worry.
19:39I'll have another dress made for you.
19:41If Grace likes this one, let her have it.
19:44Consider it compensation for last night.
19:49I said nothing.
19:51A look of hurt flashed across Grace's face.
19:55Victoria, is it because I'm wearing this dress that you don't want to go?
20:00Or do you hate me because of what happened last night?
20:04I don't even know how it happened.
20:07She looked so pitifully fragile that Aaron was already starting to look concerned for her.
20:13I didn't want to argue with her.
20:15I just nodded.
20:18The Pack Alliance annual gala was held in the Grand Hall of the most luxurious Blackwood Manor.
20:27I stood quietly in the shadows at the edge of the hall, wearing a simple, pure white silk dress.
20:35Up front, in the center of it all, Aaron and Grace were naturally the focus of everyone's attention.
20:44Grace, wearing the gown that should have been mine, clung to Aaron's arm, smiling sweetly as they moved between the
20:52alphas of the major packs.
20:55To everyone else, they looked like a perfect, faded pair.
21:01And I, the future Luna, who was supposed to have her mating ceremony with Aaron in less than a week,
21:08was like a ghost, left alone in a corner.
21:12Victoria, is it because I'm wearing this dress that you don't want to go?
21:17Or do you hate me because of what happened last night?
21:21I, I, I don't even know how it happened.
21:24She looked so pitifully fragile that Aaron was already starting to look concerned for her.
21:30I didn't want to argue with her.
21:32I just nodded.

22:18And I, the future Luna, who was supposed to have her mating ceremony with Aaron in less than a week,
22:25was like a ghost, left alone in a corner.
22:29A beautiful Luna to be, all alone in the shadows?
22:33A low, teasing male voice broke my thoughts.
22:37I turned to see a strange man smiling at me.
22:41Raising an eyebrow.
22:43He even had the audacity to reach out, as if to touch the long hair falling over my shoulder.
22:50Don't touch her!
22:52A deep, wolfish sneal ripped through the air, followed by a crushing wave of alpha dominance.
22:59Aaron had appeared out of nowhere.
23:01He yanked we behind him, his dark gold eyes locked on the man, a warning growl rumbling in his throat.
23:12The man stumbled back, choking on the pressure.
23:16I looked at Aaron's possessive display, a complicated mix of feelings churning inside me.
23:23It was just like in my past life.
23:26This push and pull from him was the source of all my pain.
23:30Aaron seemed to realize he'd overreacted.
23:33He took a deep breath, reigning in the fury in his eyes.
23:37His tone was stiff.
23:39The opening dance is about to start.
23:43So, I asked.
23:45He avoided my gaze, speaking awkwardly.
23:49Grace said this is the last gala before I officially have a mate.
23:53She wants one last opening dance with me before I belong completely to you.
23:57As my future mate, you can understand that, right?
24:00Okay.
24:01I said, without a shred of hesitation.
24:04My voice was perfectly calm.
24:09Aaron froze.
24:10He seemed to have a whole speech prepared to convince me, but my one simple word had stopped him in
24:18his tracks.
24:19He gave me a long, deep look.
24:22But in the end, he said nothing more and turned back to Grace, who was watching him with an expectant
24:29look on her face.
24:31The music began, and they swayed together in the center of the floor.
24:38Suddenly, chaos erupted.
24:41The massive, colorful, stained-glass window at the top of the hall smattered.
24:47A rain of bullets laced with deadly silver poured down from the sky.
24:52Ambush!
24:53It's a night soldier from the rival pack!
24:56The guards roared, and the entire hall descended into chaos and panic.
25:02In the middle of the dance floor, Grace let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground in fear.
25:10In an instant, Aaron shielded her with his broad back, covering her completely.
25:15His movements were sure and practiced, and I was standing less than 30 feet away.
25:23Just then, a bullet flew from the side, hitting me squarely in the left shoulder.
25:29A sharp, searing pain shot through me.
25:32The silver began to eat away at my flesh.
25:35My vision went black, and I almost passed out.
25:40I clutched my shoulder, blood seeping through my fingers, staining my white dress red.
25:48It's okay, it's okay, I'm here.
25:51Through the screaming crowd, I could see Aaron holding Grace tightly, whispering soft reassurances to her.
25:58His voice was heartbreakingly gentle.
26:03He hadn't even noticed me on the floor.
26:10A servant hiding behind a pillar saw me lying in a pool of blood and screamed in terror.
26:17In the middle of the dance floor, Grace let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground in fear.
26:24In an instant, Aaron shielded her with his broad back, covering her completely.
26:29His movements were sure and practiced, and I was standing less than 30 feet away.

26:46The silver began to eat away at my flesh.
26:49My vision went black, and I almost passed out.
26:54I clutched my shoulder, blood seeping through my fingers, staining my white dress red.
27:02It's okay, it's okay, I'm here.
27:05Through the screaming crowd, I could see Aaron holding Grace tightly, whispering soft reassurances to her.
27:12His voice was heartbreakingly gentle.
27:17He hadn't even noticed me on the floor.
27:20Oh my god! The load has been shot!
27:24A servant hiding behind a pillar saw me lying in a pool of blood and screamed in terror.
27:30Aaron's body went studded.
27:32As if suddenly remembering something, he whipped his head around.
27:36He finally looked in my direction.
27:38Just as the pain overwhelmed me, and I slipped into darkness.
27:45I had a long, dark dream.
27:49It was filled with the burning sensation of a silver blade piercing my flesh,
27:54and the image of Aaron from my past life, turning his back on me to hold Grace as I died.
28:00When I finally managed to pry my heavy eyelids open, I tried to move my left side.
28:06A stabbing pain shot through my shoulder.
28:09Though the wound had been cleaned and banded, the residual silver was still torturing every nerve.
28:16Luna, you're finally awake.
28:18A pack doctor in a white coat stood by my bed, his face a mixture of concern and an awkwardness
28:24he couldn't hide.
28:25How long was I out?
28:27I asked, my voice horsey.
28:29Three days.
28:30Tomorrow, tomorrow is your mating ceremony with the Alpha.
28:36Where's the Alpha?
28:37I asked, my voice flat.
28:40I already knew the answer.
28:42The doctor stammered for a moment before finally forcing the words out.
28:47The Alpha, he's been in Miss Grace's room for the past three days.
28:52The attack that night terrified her.
28:54Her wolf's core is already fragile, and she came down with a high fever.
28:57The Alpha's been by her side the entire time, taking care of her.
29:00I closed my eyes, a familiar, bitter poison flooding my heart, just as I expected.
29:06Even when I was poisoned with silver and my life on the line, Grace was still the most important thing
29:11in his world.
29:13Just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the room.
29:17Is Victoria awake?
29:18It was Aaron's voice, thick with exhaustion.
29:21The doctor hurried to open the door.
29:23Aaron looked terrible.
29:24There were dark circles under his eyes.
29:27He had clearly exhausted himself, taking care of Grace.
29:31He saw my open eyes, and a flicker of guilt crossed his face.
29:35He started to walk toward the bed.
29:38Get out.
29:39I don't need you.
29:41I said coldly.
29:43My icy glare stopped him in his tracks.
29:46He opened his mouth, as if to explain, but remained standing at the door.
29:51I know you're angry.
29:53Aaron said, taking a deep breath.
29:57Grace's condition was critical.
29:58I couldn't leave her.
29:59I assigned the best doctors in the pack to you.
30:01I know you're strong enough.
30:02I knew you'd be okay.
30:06I closed my eyes, not even having the energy to scoff.
30:10That was his logic.
30:12Because I was strong.
30:14Because I could handle it.
30:15I deserved to face death alone.
30:20And fragile Grace would always need him.
30:23Victoria, get some rest.
30:25Seeing my silence, Aaron gave up.
30:28He spoke again, a hint of hope in his voice.
30:32Tomorrow is our mating ceremony.
30:34I've given orders for everything to be of the highest standard.
30:40I'm going to give you the most magnificent, beautiful ceremony to declare to the entire world that you are mine.
30:46We'll make up for what you've been through.
30:48His promise was followed by the soft click of the door closing.
30:52A magnificent ceremony.
30:54He could save that for his dear sister.
30:56That night, in the dead of night, I pulled the IV from the back of my hand.
31:02Ignoring the pain in my shoulder, I took out the white gown custom made by the Blackwood Pack for their
31:08Luna.
31:09Holding the dress, I knocked on Grace's door.
31:13It opened.
31:14Grace stood there in a thin, silk nightgown.
31:17Her cheeks were flushed and she looked full of life.
31:19There was no trace of a woman who had been terrified to the point of near death.
31:23Seeing me, her eyes flashed with surprise before she quickly put on her pitiful act.
31:28Victoria, is your wound better?
31:30Brother was just so worried about me.
31:33Please don't be mad at him.
31:34Cut the act.
31:35There's no one else here.
31:36I said coldly, interrupting her not-sitting performance.
31:40I shoved the dress into her arms.
31:42Grace Froll, staring down at the gorgeous white gown.
31:46A look of pure, greedy ecstasy erupted in her eyes.
31:50This is...
31:51Her voice trembled.
31:53I won't be at the ceremony tomorrow.
31:55This position as Luna and your precious Aaron, you can have it all.
32:00As Grace stared at me with a look of utter disbelief and wild joy,
32:05I turned and walked away without a second glance.
32:09I went straight to Aaron's study at the far end of the second floor hall.
32:16I took out the official stamped agreementating my betrothal to Aaron and placed it on his desk.
32:22Then, I picked up a pen and wrote three words on a blank sheet of paper.
32:26Have each other.
32:27After doing all that, I felt the weight that had been crushing my chest for two lifetimes finally lift.
