Avalynn continued to debate whether or not to go out with Liam since she wasn't sure how it would affect her relationship with Jace. She's aware that she needs a distraction, but is she prepared to make the commitment? The question refuses to go away, hanging there in the atmosphere like a thick fog. A bird flew over the pretty blooming garden, its wings spread wide against the sky, as she sits on the balcony lost in thoughts. Avalynn feels a tremendous surge of bravery growing in her chest, and for a second her breath freezes in her throat. The loud ring of her phone broke the calm silence of the mansion just as she was about to decide to go take a nap and find some peace in the seclusion of her room. The moment Avalynn saw Liam's name flash on the screen, her heart skipped a beat.
