I said goodbye to the guard replacing me and stepped out of the guardhouse. I walked toward the Mavkos mansion, intending to speak with my sister. But as I drew closer, I suddenly froze and didn't want to go through with it anymore. I clenched my fists and swore under my breath out of pure frustration. For days now, I had been planning to visit my sister and talk to her, but I kept losing my nerve. I wanted to tell her the truth about what was going on between Dakila and me, but I constantly found myself second-guessing it. I could feel that as time went on, his affection toward me didn't seem the same compared to the first few days we lived together. Ever since Poppy and Sir Jagger visited us, I have constantly noticed that my boyfriend looks sad. Even though he smiled and acted happy
