Chapter 219

• Celeste POV
• The cool night air did nothing to ease the fire burning in my chest as I sat on the edge of my rooftop, legs dangling over the side like I was still the reckless teenager who used to escape up here whenever Mom's criticism became too much to bear.
• As always, whenever we had a fight, it left me drained and today was one of our worst fights yet. I’ve managed to avoid clashing with her for nearly six months, so this was a pent-up of all the fights we’ve missed out on.
