Chapter 151 The Boy in Her Gray World

From the day she felt her mother's absence, Caroline became unusually quiet.

Or maybe that was not the right word. She wasn't exactly obedient. Nor was she lifeless, not exactly.

It was more like she had turned into a shell, a body without feeling.

The world had gone gray.

And in that dull, silent world, the boy who had unexpectedly wandered into her line of sight-smiling so brightly from the garden outside the window-became the only spot of color in her

entire year.

She had no idea how much time passed after that.

Then one day, as usual, she sat quietly by the window, peering out like an obsessed voyeur, hoping for a glimpse of that boy.

And he looked up. He actually looked up and smiled right at her.

Even though she had been careful to stay out of view, convinced he couldn't possibly see her, her heart still started pounding uncontrollably.

The boy... she actually knew his name. She had heard his grandfather and the neighbors call him Alistair.

That day, Alistair waved at her through the window, like he was saying goodbye.

And from that moment on, he never appeared again.

One day passed. Then two... and then three.

Days turned into weeks, and still, there was no sign of him.

The girl who had once been silent and numb suddenly became irritable and impossible to manage.

Paige heard about it and came storming in to put her back in line. They ended up fighting again. Paige pushed her, and Caroline's head slammed hard against the wall. After that, she forgot everything from that year, including Alistair.

Now, with her face buried in Alistair's chest, Caroline rubbed her head against him, inching even closer, even though there was barely any space left between them. It was as if she wanted to melt into him completely.

Maybe that was the only way she could feel safe.

She hadn't told Alistair anything about that year.

He would have felt heartbroken if he knew.

But it was all in the past. She didn't want to bring him pain over something that couldn't be undone.
