Antonia’s pov.Bridget and i work late into the night. The plan to recover the Moon Tear’s fabric is already settled. We’ll be going to the starlight hall tonight. We also settled on a number of designs for the fashion show i want to throw. I’ve always imagined seeing people seated from far and wid
One, black, the way he likes it. The other a similar version of what i have with me. Malachi’s words from last night comes again and it feels like we’re in the bathroom.His mouth a cruel line as he spoke cruel words, “If you want to act like an animal, then i’ll treat you like an animal.”The remem
