Despite everything – the attack, the threatening message, Emily's warning, I couldn't help but feel drawn to him. What kind of secrets was he hiding? And more importantly, was I ready to find out? "Acadia? Are you still there?" Emily's voice brought me back to our conversation. "Yeah, sorry. What exactly did you find?" I walked back to my room as I spoke, needing privacy for this conversation.

My eyes cloud with tears. “She did what?” His grip loosens a little around my wrist but he still doesn’t let go “She shouldn’t ha-“ “Well she did. And what are you going to do about it?” I ask staring into his green eyes. His head drops and shoulders slump in defeat and that tells me all I need to know. “Exactly! That’s what I thought.
