Chapter 100

• BIANCA'S POV
• TWO WEEKS LATER
• I stepped out of my room, feeling quite lively compared to other days. When Tommaso had asked me to come watch them play in the basketball court, I thought it was a welcome idea. I was always locked up in my room these days. They only little time I socialized was during dinner with my new family. I was grateful for the kind of family Manuel had. They all tried to make sure I didn't feel bad over Manuel's disappearance for the past two weeks. I had particular bonded really well with his mom, and it felt nice. She always dropped by at my room to check up on me. Sometimes we had random discussions and other times, we just enjoyed each other's presence in silence. I loved the fact that she could literally stay in bed with me all afternoon, not saying a word to me and just reading a novel. It made me not feel the need to do extra in order to please her. She was already pleased.
