Chapter 58

• Isla's POV
• I locked the door behind me the moment I entered my room. I gasped for air, looking at the familiar space of my room around me. My only comfort. I leaned on the door, drawing another shaky breath. I needed this solitude more than I needed anything else. But even then, my mind wouldn’t stop racing.
• My heart ached, tangled in guilt and frustration. I shouldn’t have been caught up in the feelings I had for Adrian, feelings that never should have bloomed in the first place.
