Chapter 111 Lucas, And Riley

• Paige narrates.
• When I return from Mason's office, I find my friends waiting for Riley. She's supposed to be on her way to Sarah's house. Naturally, she doesn't know that Lucas is here. She's coming to see me, so I feel nervous about lying to her. I want to talk to her, let her know that I support her and that she's not to blame for anything that happened during those years when she lost her baby.
• Lucas is also nervous, and it's evident. I look at him and say, "Don't worry, just tell her everything, express your feelings, and let her know that you're not mad at her so that she doesn't keep blaming herself, as I think she's been doing." I take his hand.
