Chapter 68

• I may have been wrong. I may have overestimated myself or purposely turned a blind eye to a big problem because I didn’t want to be overwhelmed but I was in trouble. I’d fallen into a trap without even knowing it.
• I didn’t know how to move forward but one thing was certain – I had made a mistake. Several weeks had passed yet I had not made it out of the house; like a bird stowed away in a beautiful cage.
• At first, I tried not to look at it like that. I wanted to believe in Riven. He’d been a solid support so far and I wanted – maybe even needed – to trust him – believe his word – but now, I didn’t know.
