Chapter 79

• LYSSA
• I don’t even bother looking at Mason for help. He’s clearly had enough and my dreamy feelings about him have suddenly faded. He’s got one foot out the door, as they say. Whatever disagreement he’s having with my stepfather over money will be sorted and then he’ll be satisfied and leave. He’ll forget all about me.
• And why should I care? For real, why? He’s just another stranger in a long line of people my stepfather has brought in and out of my life since I was six.
