|ADELINE’S POV| Three days they kept me at arm's length. I finally got a note under my door that I should come down for dinner by seven on the dot. I was pissed at this point, if they weren’t ready to handle me then they should have said so instead of isolating me. I waited anxiously for seven, even though I didn’t show it. I kept it buried well. Let them think I was understanding. For the past three days, I’ve typed out so many things that I wish I could say to Rowan. This was all some mess. Once seven hit, I left the room. I’d dressed in all black for this. It’s what I was feeling. I feel like Rowan would have supported it. He would have said to express myself in whichever way I wanted. And I missed that so much. I wonder if damien has noticed our absence in the pack. I wonder why
