ISOBEL Mason sighed but thankfully, he didn’t argue with me anymore. He just sat there for a moment, and watched me like he was still wondering whether to leave, but I kept looking at him as a silent way of telling him I wasn’t backing down. Eventually, he sighed and ran a hand through his hair in frustration, muttered something under his breath, and stood up. “I’ll be outside if you need anything,” he finally said. I nodded with a smile since I won, and without another word, he walked out, and gently closed the door behind him. As soon as he was gone, I let out a deep breath and leaned back on the pillows. My body still ached from the pain of the injuries I got from the attack. My chest also felt tight as I thought about the things I was trying so hard to hide from Mason and everyone
