Chapter 299

• Rosa’s POV.
• I tried to keep it together. God knows I did. But no amount of pretending, no amount of running, could stop the inevitable.
• The moment we got back from our trip and crashed out at an hotel nearby, I felt it creeping in. The pain, the longing, the absolute stupidity of my heart. I hated the way I reached for my phone only to remember I’d blocked him, the way my chest tightened at the sight of a dark-haired man on the street, the way I found myself rereading our old texts like a fool.
