Chapter 57

• Sienna sat by the window, her knees pulled to her chest as she stared down at the bustling street below. Cars zipped by, people walked hurriedly along the sidewalks, but all she could focus on was the storm swirling inside her head. It had been two days since that night—since she had shattered into pieces in front of Kaemon.
• She let out a long sigh, resting her chin on her knees. She hadn’t been back to work since. The thought of facing anyone, even her colleagues, was too much. But the worst part? Kaemon had been staying with her the entire time, and she couldn’t even bring herself to look him in the eye.
• How could she have let herself break like that? In front of him, no less. She was supposed to be strong, the one who kept it together, the one who didn’t let the past control her. Yet there she was—completely unraveling in his arms, like the scared, fragile girl she thought she had left behind.
