I did not want to be interested in his reaction to anything concerning me, but I could not help myself. This feeling inside me was difficult to ignore, especially after that night in his room.
My mind wanders back to that memory. He never returned until the next day, and his skin looked tanned, as though he’d slept on the sand at the beach.

“You need to lighten up,” my sister tells me. “Every time 1 look at you, seems as though you have something going on in your head.”
I sigh. “You are looking too much into my expressions. I told you that I’m okay. You do not need to worry about me.”

oil the fun?
She groans, “Why do you always need to spoil
I roll my eyes at her as I shut the car door. “How about we call this entire thing off and go back inside?”
She folds her arms stubbornly, “Oh no, sister. You are not getting out of this so easily. We are going to that party! You already promised met”
There was no chance of me changing her mind. I had to find a way to make it through the night without getting my heart hurt by Apollo’s actions.
