Reunion–1
Thea’s POV
The afternoon sun filtered through the curtains into my room as I opened my sore eyes. For just a moment, I thought everything that happened yesterday was just a nightmare, but the cruel memories quickly flooded back into my mind. This wasn’t some bad dream- Kane had really betrayed me.
I’d cried enough tears these past few months to fill the entire Moon Bay Lake. I was sick of feeling so fucking weak. But when reality hits you hard, letting you know that everything you believed in was a lie, there’s no way to stay strong.
I forced myself out of bed. Even though I had zero energy to do anything, I knew I couldn’t just lie around feeling sorry for myself all day. I took a long shower, hoping it would make things a little better, but it didn’t help. I doubted anything could make this
shit better.
Throwing on a loose t–shirt and yoga pants, I headed to the kitchen to find something to eat. Just as I was pulling out a few eggs, the doorbell rang. I sighed deeply, not wanting to see anyone right now–I just wanted to be alone with my thoughts.
“Hey,” Iris said with a forced smile when I opened the door.
She looked as exhausted as I felt. Her exhaustion was probably more physical, while mine was both physical and emotional.
“Hey, Iris,” I stood awkwardly at the door.
I didn’t want to be rude, but I also didn’t want anyone near me. Like I said, I just wanted to be alone, to try to process everything I’d learned yesterday.
“I know you probably don’t want to see anyone right now, but can I come in?” she pleaded.
It still surprised me how well we understood each other in such a short time. It felt like
we’d known each other for years, not just a few months.
I exhaled. “Fine, come in.”

Reunion–1
As she walked in, I noticed she was carrying several boxes.
“Food,” she said, and I nodded.
I was grateful. I really didn’t have the energy to cook, even though I was starving.
We went to the living room, and I sat on the large sofa while Iris settled down, placing the boxes of food on the coffee table.
I immediately started eating. We didn’t talk while eating, both seemingly lost in our own
thoughts.
“Are you okay? I’ve been worried about you, Thea. This must be so hard to process,” she
said after we finished.
For a moment, I considered lying to her, saying I was fine just to stop her from worrying. After all, pretending everything was normal was always easier than facing reality.
But as soon as the thought crossed my mind, I dismissed it. I needed to talk because I felt like I was drowning.
“It is hard,” I began, “I’m still struggling to accept that Kane isn’t who I thought he was, and that the people I thought were my family aren’t actually my blood relatives.”
I didn’t know which was harder to accept. I kept asking myself if things would have been better if I’d been raised by my real parents. If life would have been more beautiful.
Then I wouldn’t have met Sebastian, but I also wouldn’t have had Leo. Whenever I thought about what life would be like without ever meeting Sebastian, I immediately pushed the thought away. I would go through it all again just to have Leo in my life.
God, I missed him. I wanted Leo with me now more than ever. He had always been my
rock.
“I can’t imagine how you feel right now. I don’t even know how to comfort you,” Iris’s words pulled me back to reality.
I looked at her and smiled slightly. She really wasn’t good at comforting people or making them feel better. But I didn’t mind. Her honesty was better than those who pretended to understand what I was going through.
