The Luna Choosing Game
Chapter 0504
Chapter 0504 I With Nicholas’s arms wrapped safely I around me, I debated with myself \ whether to ask the questions I wanted or to go back to what I was sure would be the I world’s most comfortable sleep.
In the end, my desire for answers outweighed my sleepiness.

Instead, they were most upset about the optics.” Optics? In the eyes of the public? «Because of the speculation about what happened in the cave?” “No,” Nicholas said. «That was so grainy, thank God, that no one could tell what went on for sure. Even my parents, who had people analyzing the footage to see if they needed to make a statement about it,
confirmed the results were inconclusive.

Because I'm not the only one who's status just got lifted.” He kissed me again, this time pressing his lips to the shell of my ear. “I went for you, Piper, and the public knows it. They saw you fighting for survival. They were cheering for you.” [ couldn’t believe what Twas hearing.
