Aria’s POV:
I stood up and walked out the door, hearing the desperate pleas inside my head. Tonight is the night I’m leaving Full Moon.
I thought I could do it.
But the book isn’t worth it.
Down the stairs and out the front door.
‘You call me a monster without knowing what a monster truly looks like.’
And into the woods.
‘I’ll show you exactly what you want to see.’
Run.
‘What you want my kind to be.’
Run far away.
Until there’s nowhere left to run.
Ethan turns his attention towards me. “I thought things were going well, weren’t they?” He gets up from the rocks. “The small fair. The movie theater that feels like it’s just the two of you. The dinner. The romantic night outing?”
I knew it was all a setup.
I look away.
“He isn’t going to like it if you leave.”
“I don’t care.”
