Chapter 47

• LILY.
• Why does Luca keep rejecting me? Am I not good enough? Doesn't he know that I'm hurt? I deserved to be loved and to love. Sweat drips down my spine as I jog on the sidewalks. The music from my headphones piercing deep into my eardrum...
• Early morning jogging was a habit I killed long ago, but today I woke up and my body desperately craved this. It's more than exercising; I'm trying to connect deeper with myself, to understand my emotions, and to just breathe from all the strain.
