Chapter Hundred and twenty-nine
LIZZIE'S POV
I jumped through the table, my chest still thumping from the rage, and the opulence of the mansion's dining room vanished behind me. I was drawn outside by the scent of the neighboring garden in the evening air. To process the storm of feelings Philip's plea had unleashed inside of me, I wanted the comfort of wide-open spaces.

The sky was tinted pink as well as orange as the sun sank low in the horizon, creating a pleasant glow.

As soon as I walked in, whispers and whispered talks stopped, and interested eyes looked at me.
