Chapter 33
But lying on that hard bed, my mind was a chaotic mess, with no trace of sleepiness.
Eventually, I picked up my phone and opened my messaging app. There were messages from Demi and Gavin.

I smirked at the message and didn’t respond.
Gavin: [Ms. Kay, please don’t take this the wrong way about Mr. Johnston. It’s super important you guys don’t have any issues, or it’ll all be my fault.]
I didn’t bother replying. Instead, I opened my social media, found a selfie of my shadow at an amusement park, and posted it with the caption: [Happy vacation!]
Afterwards, I purged my profile of anything related to Jace–a classic move after a breakup.
Since we weren’t a thing anymore, it was best to clear out anything about us to avoid any bitterness and self–pity. By the time I finished, it was 3 a.m., my eyes strained. I tossed my phone aside and closed them.

‘Boring. If girls were into guys like him, they must have a masochistic streak,’ I grumbled inwardly. After two encounters, he had managed to hit all my pe
Shortly after Hayden left, I rolled out of bed, still in my pajamas. Lazily, I pushed open the door. The courtyard was bathed in sunlight filtering through the

I loved simple, homey food and didn’t hesitate. “Sure
“Come over and eat then,” she said, already seated at the table under the ginkgo tree.
In that moment, I felt like I was seeing my parents and my childhood life. My eyes suddenly grew red.
“Macy, I was actually born here,” I said as I ate, sharing my parents‘ story and mine.
Macy nodded vigorously, visibly excited. “You’re Alan’s child? What are the odds! Why didn’t you say so yesterday?”
I felt a wave of emotion. “I was afraid you’d have other thoughts and wouldn’t let me stay, or worse, you’d kick me out.”
“What nonsense. I bought this house from your parents fair and square. I’m not worried about anything.” Macy looked at my face. “You take after your m
