Chapter 49 A Seed Of Jealousy

• Zoya’s P.O.V
• After my moment with Sam in the kitchen, I made sure to wash up as quickly as I could so I could get changed just as fast, not wanting to be late for work. Strangely enough, it was comforting, Sam’s idea of selling my engagement ring for money. Not that I needed it, but it felt like one last big ‘fuck you’ to the ones who betrayed me.
• It was wishful thinking, and I knew it well enough myself that believing in such a thought was foolish and would likely cause a lot of disappointment when time and time again would prove it false, but still… In this moment, I couldn't help but let go of all my worries and just allow myself to feel free and happy and light. It was not every day that I get to experience that moment of sweetness with Sam.
