Chapter 23

• Monday couldn't have come any faster, given the constant aching feeling in my chest. Every thought was plagued with negativity and revolved around Nicholas and my father's killer. Over the weekend, I opted to stay home, mostly locked up in my room since my mother wasn't home during the day. I hadn't seen my two best friends, and neither had I seen Nicholas. I expected him to drag me to the doctor like he had said, so when Saturday was over, I was surprised.
• "Is Dorian picking you up today?" My mother's voice snapped me out of my thoughts.
