LOGIN“Anyway,” Lilly drawls, stretching, “where were you headed just now?”“Breakfast.”“Oh good,” she claps her hands. “I’m starving, but we’re not going downstairs. We’ll just have our meal here.”I don’t argue. Just seeing Noah earlier feels like it drained every ounce of energy from my soul.After br
Sierra.“Uhm… hello?” I say, leaning back against the wall.The scene unfolding in front of me is eerily similar to yesterday except this time, Lilly is here. She’d told me before she left that she was heading to the meeting and would be back before I woke up so we could plan something to do.Appare
The words are right there on my tongue. Every reason why I would never, not in this lifetime, give her a chance... But then everything inside me freezes.I try to fight the thoughts. Try to bury them, to forget them, but they keep resurfacing like an unwanted fucking rash.My hand clenches. My heart

I can’t stop the panic that fills me or the way my heart beats so wildly that I’m afraid it’s going to punch a hole through the center of my fucking chest. What the hell am I doing here? Why would I come here of all places? The questions keep swimming in my head, but for the love of me, I have no
“Ava, wake up; dinner is ready.” His voice pulls me from my dreams. It wasn’t a really good dream, but neither was it bad. It was one of those dreams that left you with confusion and vague images of what you dreamed of. “Iris?” “Don’t worry. She woke up; I gave her a bottle, and she went back to
“Has Rowan eaten?” “Not yet; he told me that he would eat after he was done and that I shouldn’t trouble myself.” I nod my head. "Okay, then, have a goodnight.” “Goodnight too” After she leaves, I make a plate for Rowan. Who knows how long it would be before he finished up. He couldn’t run on an
The happiness I’d been feeling moments ago completely evaporates as a surge of irritation takes over my entire body. “When I said everyone, I meant everyone, Noah.
