It was the following day, and we were over at Liam‘s.

Katara

She may be seven, but she was quite small for her age.

Despite her strength and determination, she was a minuscule–sized princess.

“I don‘t think you should be going alone.” Jayce added.

“I just need a break, just a few months to be alone and away from everything,” I promised, dropping onto the sofa next to Theo.

My family knew I had a boyfriend back when I was at the academy…
