Chapter 76

• I burst into tears. This was really too much and I needed to stop doing this to myself. I ran into the bathroom and grabbed my things, then ran out just as quickly and shut the door. Making a beeline for the bureau, I held my hand up to the side of my head to block my view of the bed. I only had a few of my own belongings here and I snatched them up from the bureau, then stuffed them into my empty duffel bag laying limp near the bedroom door.
• That was everything, that was it. I left the bedroom and closed the door behind me, unwilling to look back.
• I raced out of the house as quickly as I could, out and into the open air of the estate grounds. I wanted to ask Henry to drive me home, but I realized I couldn’t. I needed to walk, because otherwise he’d tell Lucas and I didn’t know what Lucas would do.
