EvelynDays tick by with no interaction between me and Sebastian. He drives me back to school but doesn’t say a single word to me. I try broaching several subjects, but he stays silent.I don’t like this version of Sebastian. Why not tell me what he feels? Why not be open with me the way he has sinc
Well, I certainly never fucking thought that!William shrugs, drinking his coffee before setting it down and looking back toward the door Sebastian exited. “Wish he’d be honest with me. I know there’s shit he won’t tell me.”And that’s definitely for the best.But still, hearing how Gregory sees Seb

I notice the time, realizing it’s gotten late much faster than I’d thought.“I’m just out and about. Don’t worry about me,” I say, vaguely even responding to her worries. “I’ll let you know when I’m returning, okay?”Olivia tries to get my location out of me, but I tell her I’ve got to go. I’m reall

Sebastian gives us a double take as he opens the door with his key. “When did you tell Ava?” “She tells me a lot more than you know, Sebastian.” She crosses her arms, looking between the two of us. “I’m the only person who knows the truth about you both. So, sometimes I take advantage of it.”
Evelyn's POV “Are you sure it’s not something I did? I just feel like I’m missing something.” Olivia crosses her arms, as I grab the last of my stuff. It only took me an hour to get everything out of here, and Sebastian’s waiting downstairs for me to finish up. Olivia still knows nothing. Not th
