Chapter 17

• ALEXIS GALLAGHER
• After almost sleeping on the couch, I made my way to the room I was staying in at the LeBlancs' house, still wondering how my feet still had the capacity to hurt. I began to wonder if it was because I hadn't sat down even once at that ball – since I arrived – or if it was because I danced every song of that event, along with Claire. And speaking of her, well... my head started spinning because after remembering what I had said about those sins, I literally wanted to slap myself in the face!
• What was I thinking saying that to her? What did I think? She was mentally fragile because of what had happened at the ball – and even though it was just a joke that I ended up thinking at the moment – now I could see how out of line it was!
