Sebastian’s POV

I have never seen Scar so happy with her laughter reaching her eyes….when she left with her friends.

She never laughs with me, she just smiles at me- she used to smile at me, but not anymore. Not for months. But even before when she did, it was different from the laugh she had with her friends. Her smile at me was always timid and restrained, like a puppy scared of being hurt, but also desperately flatters people for food.

She wasn’t happy with me. I made sure of that.

I kept searching in my memory for clues to justify my actions. Maybe she deserved it, maybe she brought that to herself, maybe things didn’t have to be that
