I’m not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything.
Two damaged people. Countless secrets.
The fight of our lives. We might be broken, but we’re not done.

I’m not supposed to see her, talk to her – I’m not supposed to want her. It will only break open wounds I’ve fought to keep closed, but I can’t stay away.

Although Elijah can’t deny his deep attraction to Cora, he’s always struggled with trust.
