The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

So I didn’t hate her. But I did hate what was taking place right in front of me.

I would have run away if I could have. But that would only draw the camera lenses to me. For Nichola s’s sake, for the sake of his sacrifice of our near-relationship, I had to keep my

backside in my chair and endure.
