They all sat down.

Ann looked around the room — at each face in turn, measuring the weight of what she was about to say against the silence that was already pressing in from every direction.

“I never expected,” she began, “that I would ever find myself here. In your family’s home. About to marry into it.” She folded her hands in her lap. “So before anything else is said, I want to tell you everything myself.”

Nobody spoke.

“I was cruel to Zara,” she said. “As cruel as the rest of them. I treate

    Hannah looked over to find Lilly already burrowing into her blankets, clearly done with the night before it had properly ended.“You’re sleeping already?”“Yes. I’m tired, Hannah.”Hannah sighed, unconvinced. “Is it because something’s bothering you?”“Like what,” Lilly said flatly, not really a question.“Like the fact that he raised his voice at you, and you’ve never seen that side of him before.”“Hannah, please. I need to rest. Let’s not talk about Zane, okay? Let’s just act like nothing actually happened.”“But everything happened, Lilly.”Lilly didn’t answer. She just closed her eyes and let sleep pull her under before the conversation could go any further. Hannah watched her a moment longer, sighed, and finally left her to it.Under the blanket, though, Lilly wasn’t asleep at all — not yet. She lay there, quietly furious, and not entirely at Zane. She’d grown up in a house where no one raised their voice, not once, not for anything, and so when Zane’s had cracked out cold and s

    He was dancing with another girl, but his eyes never left Lilly.God, I hope she doesn’t find someone else to dance with, he thought, distracted, barely registering the girl in front of him until her hand slid up his arm toward his chest.“Please,” he said, stepping back slightly, “don’t go touching, okay?”Then his eyes went wide.Elliot was dancing with Lilly now.Something hot and unreasonable flared in his chest, and suddenly the song felt too loud, too slow, too everything. He exhaled hard and tried to drag his focus back to the girl in front of him — but when he looked at her, she smiled and said, “I told you you’d miss me,” except the voice that came out was Lilly’s, and for one disorienting second, the girl’s face was Lilly’s face.He blinked. Shook his head. “Jeez. How drunk am I?” he muttered. It didn’t make sense. None of it made sense. Why was he seeing her everywhere?He looked back toward the real thing. Lilly and Elliot were laughing together, easy and unbothered, Ellio

    Lilly waited inside their dorm , absently scrolling through her phone while stealing glances at the entrance every few seconds. It wasn’t until nearly ten minutes later that Hannah finally appeared, her cheerful grin as bright as ever.“Hey, bestie!” Hannah called loudly, wrapping an arm around Lilly’s shoulders. “How was the performance with Ethan?”Lilly let out a long sigh.“It… didn’t go as well as I hoped.”Hannah frowned slightly. “What happened?”“He was busy.”“Oh, poor baby.” Hannah dramatically placed a hand over her heart before sitting beside her. “Tell me something. Did he notice the dress you kept staring at in the store? The one you spent nearly an hour deciding on?”Lilly looked down at her lap.“No.”“No?”“He didn’t even compliment me.”Hannah burst into laughter.“Look, I told you he wouldn’t! Ethan is exactly the kind of guy who doesn’t pay attention to details. The moment I met him, I knew.”She nudged Lilly with her shoulder.“So… basically, you received zero co

    Zane…” she whispered, her voice barely audible.“You can let go of me now. They’re already gone.”He let out a quiet chuckle but didn’t loosen his arms around her.“Nope.”She frowned.“What do you mean, ‘nope’?”“Some of them are still around.”She raised an eyebrow.“I’m the one who can see them, not you. So you’d better believe me when I say they’re still here.”“I don’t believe you.”“Really?”He tilted his head, listening carefully.“Then tell me… do you hear those footsteps?”Lilly held her breath.At first, there was nothing.Then…Soft footsteps echoed from around the rift .A group of girls laughed as they moved around around waiting for autographs .Her eyes widened.“They’re… actually still there.”“I told you.”She rolled her eyes.“You enjoy proving me wrong, don’t you?”“A little.”He laughed quietly before silence settled between them again.Neither of them made any effort to pull away.The warmth of his embrace was strangely comforting.“So…” Zane spoke softly.“Tell

    Lilly spent the entire night buried in her wardrobe.“C’mon, Lilly, just wear this,” Hannah said, holding up a dress for the third time. “It’s really not that deep — you’re just watching him perform, it’s not like he is going to propose to you or anything .” She said with a grin on her face.“It’s not like—” Lilly started, then stopped herself. “Hannah, please. I need to look good.”Hannah sighed, laughing despite herself. “Zane wouldn’t care what you wear. But look at you right now.” She paused, studying her friend’s frantic pile of rejected outfits. “Hannah, c’mon.”“Zane is nothing but my fake boyfriend,” Lilly reminded her, a little too quickly. “I’m going out with my real you know this well and I don’t have to explain myself much .”Hannah just shrugged. “Okay, if you insist, ma’am.”Lilly spent the rest of that night still searching for the best one.In the morning, she woke to the buzz of her phone. Ethan was supposed to pick her up from her dorm — instead there was a message w

    179“Okay, enough of the sad stories,” Lilly said, pressing her hand flat against his chest and pushing him back half a step. “I came here to study, remember? Not to relive trauma.”Zane bent slightly to her level, holding her arms gently in his hands, his expression softer than the moment before. “You’re stronger than you think you are. I just want you to know that.” He paused. “And I’m genuinely glad you survived that night. You’re amazing, Mauli. I love your confidence — the fact that you can stand here and talk about it at all says something about you.”“It wasn’t my fault,” she said quietly, her voice losing some of its usual brightness. “He was just—” She stopped, swallowed. “He was a bad man. That’s all it was.”“And nothing like that will ever happen to you again.” His voice carried a weight underneath the gentleness, something protective and absolute. “Not while I’m around to make sure of it.”She nodded, pouting slightly despite the seriousness sitting in his tone, the two e
