Chapter 23

• Kenna
• As my mother walks ahead with Diana, Aidan tries to follow them but I hold him back by grabbing onto his forearm—causing him to turn and look at me. Both of my eyes meet his, trying to figure out words to say but nothing came out; leaving me staring back at him in silence.
• ''I'm sorry,'' I mutter under my breath as my lips curve up into a small smile, letting him smile back at me. ''You're right. Maybe, I'm just overthinking or too paranoid about it but I should let it go. It felt as if something bad is going to happen again and I wanted to avoid that as much as I can . . . that's why I hesitated,'' I add, slowly.
