Then she said: "And do you believe what you just said?" Zara paused. "I believe it's true." "That's not the same thing." "I believe it's the most accurate description of what's happening." "What would a less accurate description look like?" Zara looked at the window of Dr. Osei's office, which faced a December sky that was doing very little except existing in a gray and noncommittal way. "It would look like two people who care about each other finding reasons to be in contact." "And why is that less accurate?"

They were staring at something intentional, like a plan drawn up long before anyone ever dared to get curious. One major thing still bothered Selena, she had not been able to get a while with Ava. It’s been 1 week since they just met and one week since she heard of her and she was worried. Daniel had been to her place a couple of times and he mentioned it was as quiet as a graveyard. She was really bothered.

"Us, what do you mean?, I thought-" "The fake us." I tell him. "The bet, our relationship, your friends are talking we need to come towards a compromise." "Oh."

I chuckled, “Okay fine I promise.”

"That is what I was about to say." "Exactly," I said. "Which is why, until we find a way to end what started between these two families, Lady Seraphine is the only Vale who comes through that door." "And how exactly do you plan to end a war that started before either of us was born?" Riven asked. He wasn't being difficult. He was asking a real question, the way he did when he had already thought through the problem and wanted to know if I had thought through it too. "I don't know yet," I said honestly. "But I will figure it out."
