And I\u2019m the Queen of Nordvale.<\/p>\n<p>From her tone, this wasn\u2019t casual at all.<\/p>\n<p>She swerved. \u201cEnough about me.

Don\u2019t tell me you still think Mr. Eaton isn\u2019t genuine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I pressed my lips together. \u201cNo. Because I know he is, I feel \u2026 guilty. You know I\u2019d already decided to go to Euron.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith a mating ceremony on deck, you can\u2019t go, she said, brows up. \u201cWait\u2013you\u2019re still planning to leave Nordvale?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. I\u2019m not going,\u201d I said firmly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I haven\u2019t told my mom.

And at the start, I\u2013used him. Made a deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time I look at him and try to say it, I freeze.

Be brave about it. And honestly, if his grandma hadn\u2019t hounded you again and again, would you have done any of this? What, you were supposed to stand there and take the hits without swinging back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I shot her a look. \u201cThat\u2019s not how your movie handled it. When the guy found out, he walked away without blinking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Violet coughed. \u201cHeh. Movies are movies. Life is life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have no idea\u2013life gets more melodramatic than any script.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She rolled her eyes. \u201cSo, you\u2019ve already storyboarded a whole soap opera in your head, huh?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I sighed, still wavering.<\/p>\n<p>That was when her voice softened, unusually camest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeanna, be brave for him\u2013just this once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2\/2<\/p>\n<p>12:22 Sat, Dec 20 GAD<\/p>\n<p>Chapter<\/p>\n<p>Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
