"What's in that basement then?" As I asked, he suddenly embraced me, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry, Lark. I'm tainted. My thoughts are filled with someone else; my mind feels out of control."
"I don't even like her, yet she fills my memories."
"She's like a curse, constantly in my life, in my thoughts, claiming I love her, but I only love Lark."
"But I can control it now, every cell in my body rejects her."
"I feel nauseous if any woman other than Lark touches me."
His words helped me understand. Asher's mind is plagued with memories of him and Sage from the book, overshadowing his real feelings.
His heart knows he doesn't love Sage, but his brain is scarred with the conviction that he does, as if the book's emotions were forced into his mind.
Hence, when I claim that the one have affairs with was me, he won't believe it.
"Lark, I've truly purged her from my mind."
"Please, don't reject me."
Holding his face, I kissed him: "Asher, we'll face this together from now on."
I once believed Asher had developed feelings for Sage. It turns out, it was all the plot's influence.
