Chapter 19

• It started like a normal day. I wore a nice dress, tied my hair in a bun, and stepped out of the house. The sun was bright. I thought maybe today would be calm. But I was wrong.
• As I walked down the street, I saw someone standing by the gate. It was Desmond's mother. She looked worried and tired. When she saw me, she rushed forward.
• "Faye, please," she said. Her eyes were red, like she had been crying. "Please don't leave Desmond. He loves you. He made a mistake."
