The girls didn’t want to leave so I stalled at the party and even pretended I was having fun sometimes. I thought about looking for Enzo, but for some reason I didn’t want to see him. If I had to be completely honest, I dreaded the moment I would need to have that conversation with him… To expose my doubts about us. The only person who knew my struggle was Haera. It felt safe to tell her things like that, things I feared saying out loud most times. This reminded me I haven’t seen her in a while during the party - she was next to the fire last time I saw her. The other girls finally wanted to leave so we spread out to find her. Unfortunately I found her - making out with my brother under a tree. As gross as it was… It kinda made me happy to see them together. Alex needed someone like Haera,
