Isabella once called what was happening between Grayson and me a story. A story that had been told countless times before, but maybe ours, with the constant ups and downs and endless back–and–forths, was just a little longer. Maybe a little more

tedious.

And I would know because I was the one living it.

So, what was happening right now? It was that inevitable breakup part–the one where we separate, realize we’re meant for each other, and come back together for the happily ever after.

But a few things didn’t match the usual rhythm of the tales told and written.

Like how Grayson and I, no matter what the world wanted or what destiny had in mind, weren’t meant for each other.

How it was over between us, and absolutely nothing would bring us back together.

And how this most definitely wasn’t a story.

“This came in for you today,” My mother’s voice cut through the stillness, making me slowly raise my head. My eyes landed on the envelope in her hand before I looked back down at my clasped hands, saying nothing.

“I read it.”

Of course, she did. Like she read everything that came here when I lived under her roof, making sure only the things she deemed acceptable made it into my hands.

“Dr. Griffin fired you.”

‘Well, that makes writing my resignation letter easier,‘ I thought to myself but didn’t say it. Just like I hadn’t said a single word for two days. Ever since I cried in her arms. Ever since I collapsed into this couch. Ever since my entire world imploded. I hadn’t eaten. I hadn’t moved. I was simply…here. Existing.

Well, I did move once yesterday. The nausea had crept up on me, and I’d barely made it to the bathroom before vomiting everything I’d barely eaten the day before.

“Ava.”

Her voice brought me back to the present. Slowly, I forced myself to look at her. But the moment of softness I thought might remain was gone. Instead, I saw that look. The one I’d grown up with. The Evelyn Pierce look. Cold. Calculating.

I let out a soft laugh. It was kind of catchy. The Evelyn Pierce look.

She snapped again.
