She stares at me like I’ve lost my mind.“As potentially over-protective as your friend and queen is being,” Dr. Zorinski says to Emma, “you really do need to take it easy. Don’t

EvelynI hold back my own excited tears as I approach the dungeon a few days later. Only about half the prisoners provided us with their names, and I’m hoping what we do today changes that.Not because I need their names. Because them providing it is a symbol of growing trust.I open the dungeon doo

EvelynThe Annual Celebration Ball is a roller coaster of emotions.From the moment Alexander and I locked eyes, the entire party seemed to fade away as he approached me like a magnet coming home. Emma told me something then, though I wasn’t really listening, all my senses focused on the increasing
EvelynEmma gives me one of the four spare bedrooms on her floor, one of the rooms I didn’t have time to explore when she was with Alexander. It has a balcony that opens up to the gardens.
