I was surprised to see Nova holding the ladle and giving soup. I had no idea when Nova and Astrid had switched places.

I purposefully ignored her to grant her wish that I would never bother her again. I was afraid that if our gazes met, everything would be over for me.

I was afraid that the only resistance I had left, the little thing that I had left for myself to keep myself together without her, would suddenly vanish, and I would be left with nothing.

I held her by her arms and pushed her off me. Giselle looked at me with wide eyes. A hurt expression flashed in her features, but I wasn't affected by it. "What are you doing here? This is not a place where you should be," I snapped at her as I stared her down
