SEBASTIAN. From the moment she stepped into the hall, she took my breath away. She looked as beautiful as ever, Zaia was always the one that stood out. Even back when other girls fawned over me, she was in her own world, planning her dreams and talking about her ambitions but even then, she won th
SEBASTIAN. Both women turn to me, relief flooding Annalise’s face whilst Zaia’s anger fades a little. Her face paling and her chest rising and falling rapidly before she looks down at Annalise. “I…I didn’t push her, she fell herself!” she says. My heart squeezes as I look at her, tilting my head.
