Chapter 70 He Apologized

• Lucy’s POV
• A sting of jealousy burned in my chest watching my friend laugh so easily with Kenneth. He felt like a stranger to me now, and it hurt more than I cared to admit. We barely spoke these days, and I missed the way I used to throw myself into his arms, feeling his embrace lock me safely in place.
• I missed his scent—rich, warm, calming. It had always soothed me. And now, I knew I might never have it again… unless a miracle happened. I didn’t dare count on that.
