104 MORNING TEXT

LUKE’S POV

“What the hell even happened to you anyway? You had a fight with some thug, or something?” Ariel laughed, indirectly making fun of me.

“Yes. Yes she was,” I answered, nodding slowly.

“She died before I came into your life, right?”

“Yes.” I nodded. “And this was just how she used to act. The way you behaved moments ago.”
