"Thank you," Stephen said. "For saving me."
It's amazing to read the 'before' life of Stephen. He has so many secrets in the story and it's not told from his POV so it's great to get this little peak into his world.
what a horrid way to be raised. I'm so glad his two tasks at the end were just as they were. Stephen really is the sweet good person we know him to be.
I can't wait for the next installment of this series!
