Elena didn't know what to say. Sloane just looked at Elena sadly and shook her head."I don't... we didn't expect anything less," Sloane said slowly, her voice choking up a little. "Noah said he didn't care—that he'd wait as long as it took for them to come around—but I think we both knew what the r
