Evaline:
Finally having a normal week without any chaos, any unexpected events, and the constant presence of Thorne brothers in my life, I got enough time to calm down.
I spent the week focusing on my work, on my classes, and... on the events of the weekend.
And slowly, the sting of Saturday night began to fade.
Not because it no longer mattered, but because I realized I had directed my anger at the wrong people. Kieran hadn't done anything wrong. Oscar hadn't either. And Draven had actually been there when I needed someone.
It was River who crossed the line. And him who played with my emotions and trust.
So, as I now stood facing Oscar in the empty classroom, I was no longer furious. I was… guarded. Wary.
But not angry.
Still, I put on an indifferent face when he shut the door behind us. "Is this how we are doing things now? Dragging people into empty classrooms?"
