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

anything to her. Why does she hate me so much?”

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

thinks about ‘why’. She does not need reasons to do things.”

Serana finally found her voice, though it was tangled up with her anxiety.

“Maybe it’s because of you.”

Boyd was taken aback for a moment, and Serana quickly shook her head, “I…

I’m not blaming you, I mean…”

She stopped, taking a deep breath, “Boyd, are you… are you really upset about

out all the time, and then there was me, always causing trouble that you had to

fix. You even said some harsh things to Yasmine because of me.”

Boyd’s body stiffened, surprise written all over his face.

Serana was a bit scared by his reaction, “Yasmine only had you as a friend.

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
