Chapter 172

• Emma's POV
• I didn’t realize what I had until it was gone. That’s exactly how it played out. The moment I left Damon’s side to look for Leo, he disappeared. Vanished like smoke in the wind. As soon as I stepped into my room, the weight of it hit me. My chest tightened, and I broke down in tears.
• Stacy came over, gently dabbing at my face. "Andre's gone, Leo's gone too. They all left me," I sobbed harder, my emotions crashing over me like waves.
