00:00Hi.
00:01Hi.
00:02Hi.
00:03Hi.
00:04Hi.
00:11Hi.
00:18Is that me?
00:40I hope you don't mind.
00:41I can't get the eyes right though.
00:45That's a good angle.
00:47It doesn't do them justice.
00:51No, your work is beautiful.
01:02Why didn't you tell me?
01:03Feyre.
01:04Why?
01:05I didn't want to get you into something you didn't ask for.
01:08How would you know what I wanted if you'd never asked?
01:11I wouldn't force anything upon you.
01:13Especially when you couldn't even look at me.
01:15Force me?
01:16Is that what you thought when you forced your bargain on me?
01:19When you made me dance for you for months on end?
01:21I did that to protect you.
01:23How?
01:24I couldn't let Emmerantha know that we needed you.
01:28That I needed you.
01:32That the bargain was my way to fight her and save you.
01:35By treating me like your toy?
01:36It was a ruse.
01:38A way to convince everyone that you were nothing more than my plaything when in reality you were the only way to beat her.
01:45It was debasing.
01:51I know.
01:54And I'm sorry.
01:58If I could have made it any easier for you, I would have.
02:04It was terrifying.
02:07Seeing you endure that.
02:11It was terrifying for me too.
02:14I went through hell and up the mountain all for someone who wasn't the person I thought he was.
02:23I envied him.
02:26That he had you.
02:29The way that you looked at him, I wanted that.
02:44Do me a favor, talk to me.
02:48Please.
02:52Say something.
02:56How could I possibly be your mate?
02:59I fell in love with the first person who merely extended his hand.
03:05That's all it was.
03:07And when the illusion faded I realized that I was wrong.
03:09So what if...
03:11What if you're just doing the same?
03:13You don't understand.
03:15For years you've been in my dreams.
03:17I've had visions of you and wondered who you were and why you were in my head for years.
03:22This isn't some illusion, it's more than that.
03:26Because of one?
03:27Yes.
03:30And a year ago I realized why.
03:34Like when I saw you for the first time.
03:37Truly saw you.
03:40I knew that it was you I was looking for.
03:44Why me?
03:46I was drawn to you.
03:49I couldn't stop thinking about you.
03:53And when you were so near to me I was intoxicated by the idea of you.
03:59But I couldn't let anyone know.
04:02And it drove me mad.
04:05Why?
04:07If Emma ever found out, I don't ever want to think about what she would have done to you.
04:14She already took so much from me.
04:18But it was my choice to go.
04:21God, I hated to hear that.
04:26I know.
04:28How you looked at me with such contempt.
04:31And it tore me apart.
04:35But I knew it ensured your safety.
04:39I convinced myself that it would be better if I just forgot about you.
04:45And the bargain?
04:46The bargain was just a formality.
04:49Our bond is so much more.
04:51My soul is tethered to yours.
04:53Even if I was hundreds of miles away it would still pull me towards you.
04:57That's what our bond is like to me.
05:02I don't...
05:04I don't know.
05:05You can take all the time you need to figure it out.
05:07I don't need time.
05:08Rhys, I need to be sure that we're making the right choice.
05:12What do you mean?
05:14I'm nothing like the girl you saw in your dreams.
05:16She died under the mountain.
05:18But I don't want the girl who died.
05:20That's what Tamlin wanted.
05:21He wanted the dainty housewife who stayed home.
05:24I want the bold and clever Feyre that I see in front of me.
05:33Do you want to know who I see?
05:36I see a murderer.
05:38I see a scared girl who killed two innocent fairies just so she could run back to the man who wanted to keep her trapped.
05:44But it doesn't erase what I did.
05:46It doesn't stop the nightmares.
05:48It's just seeing their eyes beg for mercy as I cut them down.
05:53Feyre, please.
05:54I wanted to kill myself.
05:55I would have rather died than kill another innocent fairy.
05:57That fear will never go away, but you have a choice, Feyre.
06:01You can either let it shatter you and eventually kill you.
06:05Or you can accept that it happened and move forward.
06:12We've all done things that haunt us.
06:17How can you live with someone like me?
06:20Because I choose to.
06:23And I want to.
06:27And I love you.
06:32I love you, too.
06:40Tamlin.
06:49I love you.
07:20No.
07:24Feyre.
07:26Do you want this?
07:27I want you.
07:29I'm yours, please.
07:31I'm yours.
07:33And you're mine.
07:49I love you.
08:19I love you.
08:27I forgot to move you through.
