Chapter 232

• As soon as I turned the corner, I looked back. He didn’t even try to stop me. Usually, in movies, the gentleman would run after the hurt damsel, but that didn’t happen. All my life, I used to run away alone when I was sad, and no one ever came after me to comfort me, so I didn’t know why I thought this time would be any different. The worst part was that I had no idea where to go at this time of night. I refused to go to my room and had no intention of going back, so I didn’t have many options left.
• I went down to the garden and started walking in the moonlight. The moon was undoubtedly the thing most similar to my world in this nighttime setting. Even the starry sky was completely different. I walked over the hedges, crossing the boundary of Lohan’s garden toward the sea.
• “Who cares about boundaries? Screw it all!” I thought, rebelliously. I needed to clear my mind somehow. I felt like I was about to have a breakdown.
