Chapter 82

• [ARIETTA’S POV]
• I cried when I got back to the hospital. I immediately talked to Aunt about it, and she comforted me.
• "Is this because of what happened to me that you decided to break up with Pierce? I hope you hadn’t done that, Ari. I didn’t tell you about my situation for you to end up making this decision." She kept rubbing my back to calm me down. "But I respect what you did, Ari. I don’t know exactly what’s really going on, but whatever you think is right, I’ll support you. Go ahead, cry it out."
