Chapter 252 Give Her This Letter

• I was tired from a long day of acting and handling drama. So when I finally made my way back to my room, my feet were slow, my pace sluggish. I didn’t reach the hallway where the candidates’ rooms were until well after the others had already gone.
• Maybe this was why I found Mark standing alone outside of Susie’s door. The sight of his face gave me pause. He looked absolutely devastated. When my feet started working again, and I came closer, he noticed and immediately straightened.
• He didn’t have to. We knew each other well enough that I considered us friends by now. Though I was certainly closer with Susie, Mark constantly put himself in danger for me and Elva. He’d well-earned my friendship.
