Streaming tears cleansed her red cheeks. Few droplets remained, forgetting their way as the path was swept from beneath them, consequently blurring Raven’s vision, with waves of sadness only the broken encounter. The sadness drained through her spines rather than skating over her skin. It travelled through every cell to reach the ground. Next thing she knew she was there, at the front gate, watching France leave in his car. She tried to yell, but her words failed her, they came out weak and cracked. Biting her lip to stop the tears from increasing. Jace was standing infront of her, watching her every move sternly, as though he knew what was going on.After that. She was alone, angry and devastated. Her heart felt butchered, and weak.****The next day wasn’t exactly rosy, Raven retired in bed, none of the maids or her sisters bothered to check up on her, not that she was expecting it.

She looked better—stronger—as she sat in a rocking chair, holding her camera and talking to Eleanor, who'd pulled one of the visitor's chairs up close. Raven took a quick glance at the number inscribed on her palm, it was her thirty seventh day in the past. Raven couldn't help but think about how lucky she was, she felt guilty Sarah had be involved. After she recovered, Raven didn't hear from her again. She figured she had been threatened, or she was too scared to speak due to the crash. That was exactly what the person wanted, to scare them off. Raven was perplexed that she wasn't able to get any information from Sarah. She understood her perfectly, but at the same time, it was painful. There was still a little pain on Raven's arm, but she was close to full recovery. Her body had to stay fresh.

It was finally the day Raven had been looking forward to. Her very first date with France. It was extremely weird whenever she remembered his status in reality, her chauffeur. She felt like an actual star from a Hollywood movie. Although first dates tend to be the most exciting, but this one felt different. Finding the perfect dress was difficult. She’d been on many dates, she tried not to think about them. There was always a pressure of wanting to make a good first impression, and the anxiety it causes over what to wear was mentally draining.Raven figured that the key to pulling off the date was to wear something that’d strike a balance, polished and relaxed. Her aim was a lovely look that’s both feminine and chic. Something dressy but not uptight to send off all the right signals.“Raven!” Came Louis’s voice, her eyes sparkled as she saw her little sister.“You look extremely beautiful. France is gonna fall in love twice,” she commented, and Raven gave a gentle smile. “He’s here.”
