RPOV:

I managed to avoid being alone with Lissa for the next several days. I clung to Mia and Dimitri, the only two that could bring me comfort.

Lissa insisted on staying next door to our little apartment.

She'd met Dimitri and took an instant liking to him. Through others, I'd found out that Lissa was now dating Christian Ozera.

I knew of Christian Ozera, but not through school. His aunt was Tasha and she'd been part of Victor's sadistic circle voluntarily. She had also tried to break into her brother's house and rob him, which ended with his wife dead and Tasha with a scar on her face. It was after the attempt robbery that she ended up with Victor. I wondered what had happened to her after Abe broke down the operation. She was probably with some other boss now.

"Roza, you should really talk to Lissa," Dimitri said as we lay in bed.

I shook my head vehemently. "I'm not who she thinks I am," I said stubbornly. "She's holding on to an idea of me that's been shattered for the last six years."

"So let her know the new you. There's nothing wrong with you," Dimitri insisted.

I shook my head again. "No. She's going to be disappointed and won't like me and I'll be sad so I'm saving both of us the hurt and just ending it now."

Dimitri sighed. "Avoiding her won't solve anything," he said wisely.

I simply turned away from him and snuggled into my pillow before closing my eyes and pretending to sleep.
