Chapter 21

• Ambre
• "I believe we still have some places to visit," Holly says, sitting across from me and enjoying the few rays of sunshine that this day has to offer. She is sunbathing with her face to the sky, occasionally glancing in my direction. We have been sitting on the terrace for two hours now and she has not stopped nagging me about these apartments. I wanted to enjoy some peace and warmth, but she won't give me a minute's peace, even though our third friend hasn't arrived yet.
• "Why do you insist on us visiting?" I say. "I remind you that I still haven't heard from the university. For all we know, I may not even be with you in the fall. I sink back into my chair, arms crossed over my chest, grumbling, annoyed. This university business is getting on my nerves and it's not helping my morale. Jayden has been gone for four days now, and his absence is affecting me more than it should. The feeling of emptiness it creates in me is starting to hurt, and I've reached the point where I even miss our arguments.
