Chapter 87

• For a moment, Lena felt almost as if she were choking on his cruel words, and she had to clench her fists to keep from crying. But then she looked up at him with tentative eyes, and she detected that same disconnect from earlier that morning. There was something else going on in his mind, something she was certain was unrelated to the events of that afternoon. She didn't know on what, exactly, but she knew that mentally, Renz wasn't entirely in the room with them.
• And she was determined to find out what he was keeping from her.
• Lena opened her mouth to speak, but she was immediately cut off by Ava's angry shouts at Renz.
