Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 79 I Am Tessa

Wendy’s POV:

I got out of the car with an umbrella and climbed up the hill.

After searching around the graveyard, I spotted Caden sitting on the ground, drenched from head to toe. He was leaning against a tombstone with a sorrowful expression, clearly drunk.

“Caden, are you okay?” I approached him, holding the umbrella over his head. “You’re soaked through.”

Caden didn’t respond. He lifted the bottle and took another swig.

There were five or six empty bottles scattered around him.

He had definitely had too much.

I felt a pang in my chest and snatched the bottle from him. “Stop drinking! You’re drunk, Caden!”

He blinked at me in a daze, as if he couldn’t recognize me.

“Tessa?” He muttered a name.

Tessa?

It was the first time I’d heard this name.

Who was Tessa? Could it be Rosaline? No, that didn’t feel right…

Heaned down and tried to support him. “Caden, you’re drunk. Let me take you home.”

His hazy eyes were fixed on me as he murmured again, “Tessa… ”

I froze while staring at his impossibly handsome face. This was the closest I’d ever been to him.

The graveyard was silent. This was the perfect chance for me.

Leaning in closer, I decided to take a gamble. “Yes, it’s me. I’m Tessa. Caden, I’m your Tessa.”

“Tessa, is it really you?” He stumbled forward, leaning against me with disbelief and joy.

His tall, strong frame and impossibly handsome face left me breathless. He looked effortlessly perfect even though he was drunk.
