Chapter 223

• Astrid
• I pause in my tracks the moment I see Cyrus inside the kitchen. I think he’s fixing himself something and I only came here to get a glass of milk. I swallow, proceeding to get my milk so I can leave immediately. But on second thought, I pause as I’m dying to ask him a question.
• “Why don’t you like me?” He never looked at me when I came in, but this time, he lifts his gaze to look at me and then looks away yet again without saying anything.
