I got sideswiped by work yesterday, but am back on track this morning. Snippet is once again Angelique, though I guess at this point I should tell you (if you haven't noticed already) that she's what you might call an unreliable narrator ;)
"I believe we decided we never met like that."
I ignored the interruption. "I took you to Anouk's." I thought back, it was there that everything changed. I looked at him, he was watching me, something almost kind in his eyes. I took a deep breath. No, the change wasn't there: from the beginning; he wasn't real from the very beginning, just an actor all along.
"Why?"
"You know why, it was a job."
"What's real about you Illya? Are you just a shell filled with whatever your Uncle needs? What do you see when you look in the mirror?"
"Oh Madeleine, I don't need to look in the mirror to know who I am." He leaned over and drew his thumb across my cheek; it felt like a sigh and I was too surprised to pull away.
