LOGINI knew, in his own way, Teacher was just trying to cheer me up.“Well, let me know if that changes,” he said. “I’m always happy to bring villains to justice.”“He’s not a villain just because he lost interest in me,” I said.“He is, because he’s hurting you every day you are apart,” Teacher said.My
Lillian’s POVAfter moving into Josie’s room, I spent most of my waking hours out in the training ground, striking at the training dummies or shooting arrows down the range. There hadn’t been as many people coming to see Teacher and me about training. I tried not to read too much into it, but it was
Lillian’s POV“This isn’t necessary,” Grayson said. “You are being too emotional about this. You are overreacting.”“Stop saying that!” I snapped and pulled my arm away from his grasp. I continued packing, quicker than before. If I hadn’t been certain about leaving before, I was definitely sure now.
Grayson’s POV“That sounds like Lillian, doesn’t it?” Odette asked. “Should we check?”I was already moving forward, wanting to see for myself what I was hearing. They weren’t far, just around the corner of hydrangea bushes.Then I saw them. Lillian and Benedict, looking at each other in delight, la
