Serana bit her lip, hands clenched so tight her knuckles were white. “I never did

Boyd shut his eyes, a heavy sigh escaping him. “There’s no reason. She never

Maybe that’s why she resented you looking after me so much.”

Boyd’s expression grew serious, “So she’s holding a grudge against me.”

Serana pressed her lips together, not saying another word. That was probably it.

Boyd stood up, silently grabbing a shovel and replanted the young sprout that

had been uprooted.

Serana watched him, “Maybe when the flowers bloom, we can tell Yasmine to
