Chapter 45

• Back at Ryan's house, Iris was trying to concentrate on her new sketches. She knew she had to finish them in time for the promotional exam, but her mind kept wandering.
• The memories of her lost sketchbook haunted her. Each sketch in that book was a piece of her heart, and the loss felt like a wound that wouldn't heal.
• Ryan, on the other hand, was grappling with his thoughts. He had been harsh with Iris, and the guilt gnawed at him.
