Chapter 27:

• Lydia’s P.O.V
• “You look pale” Lyric said as he plopped down on the seat next to me, handing me the glass of water he had gone to fetch.
• It was very late at night, close to 2 AM and the guests had mostly left for their homes except for Stephen and Ivy’s closest friends who had decided to party all night in honor of their best friends getting engaged. I’d managed to stay away from most people’s ways so I could avoid questions and I’d stuck mostly to Stephen’s friends who knew my condition. They didn’t show much curiosity except for the fact that I had a date. Lyric hadn’t moved from my side all night except maybe to get drinks for us, non-alcoholic for me, and stuff me to the brim with food. Honestly, with how much Lyric had been feeding me, I was afraid I was going to explode. Aside from that, everything had been perfect…well, if Stephen stopped glaring Lyric to death then all would be truly well in the world. He somehow still thought that Lyric had some kind of hidden agenda with me.
