Chapter 60

After countless sleepless nights, I surprisingly caught some solid z's on the flight.

Back when we were just seven, we used to play games together.

He'd tell me he was the groom, and I was the prettiest bride.

I couldn't even remember it anymore.

Antonio had been the center of my world for as long as I could remember.

No matter how much I tried to stay cool and get over him, it felt like my insides were being torn apart.
