Chapter 254

• "You’re right. Dante took my side, actually. The
• moment you left, he realized his mistake in bullying you. He gave me hell for rejecting you, over and over, and I’ve never really had a reason for why I did it.
• Even now, I can’t explain it, and I hate that I don’t know. I think Livia wanted to be on our side, too, but Francesca had a way of pulling people in. Livia and Francesca drifted apart, and when Francesca finally accepted that she’d lost me, she found herself new friends.
