Chapter 216 Come Monday

• TEGAN'S P.O.V
• I had mixed feelings about today. We had such a short love story compared to many others. Sometimes, I live in my memories more than in reality. It is one of my many gifts. This one brought me peace. It allowed me to be in my happy place for a moment. Of course, I could only live in my mind for a short time, since reality needed me more. But that short time was what helped keep me so strong, helped me get through all those tough nights. After losing Ezra, all I wanted to do was hide away and grieve alone. But I was the Queen, so I stood tall while I hid my grief from everyone. They say we all mourn differently. I was the silent type of mourner. I had a lifetime of hurt, but I would bear that alone.
• How was I supposed to look at the man with the face of my mate? I kept asking myself the same questions. Was he different from the Ezra I knew or was he the exact same as before? I suppose he couldn't be the exact same, considering he was missing what made him who he was, Kingston.
