Chapter 22

Stepping out the door, Katniss let out a big sigh of relief and turned to Maximilian, "Max, seriously, thanks a ton for today."

She was genuinely grateful. Without Max, today would've been a total mess. He not only scared off those jerks but also helped her sort everything out. Maximilian gave her a long, hard look before asking, "So, you moved out of The Manners Villa? Had a blow-up?"

"Max, these are pills I made for you. Take one whenever you have an episode; it'll help a lot," she said.

It might've been a small thing for Max, but for her, a broke student, it was a big deal.

Max took the bottle and casually shoved it in his pocket, "Got it."
