It had been so quick and natural, and Ben had hugged everyone It would’ve been aard to be the only one to balk at it, so it just felt easier to do so quickly and get it over with Of course he’d been his sa immediately even in front of Candace if Rose was free to , but she still made sure to explain she absolutely wasn’t and that she and Vincent were, in fact, still very ether

As thethe letters It actually hurt each ti up all the old wounds she wanted so desperately to heal She didn’t even bother opening the herself to throw them away so she stashed them in her botto back What would she say? "Okay…you’re sorry Nohat? I’et, and wait four iain?" Even then, hoould she have any guarantees that he wouldn’t fall into the teht obliterated her heart and at the sa herself to read even one more word from him
