Chapter 85

• Tasha's POV
• I stared blankly at my bedroom ceiling, replaying the events of the night. Helios's rejection stung more than I cared to admit. I thought it would work. I really thought it would. How could he dismiss me so easily? Didn't he feel the spark between us? His words echoed in my mind: "We're just friends." Just friends.
• Frustration brewed inside me, and I tossed and turned, unable to shake off the feeling of disappointment. Tomorrow, I needed advice. Tracy would know what to do. I made a mental note to meet her at the café at 2 pm. With a plan forming, I threw off the covers and walked to the window.
