Adeline's POV
I thought I was dreaming.
I had to be.
What the hell did Theodore just say?
My eyes went wide as I stared at him, those words flying out of his mouth like they'd been sitting on his tongue all along, just waiting to be spoken.
I wanted to scream at him. Shake him. Demand what the hell he thought he was saying.
But I held myself back.
I really tried to.
Tried to keep my mouth shut, to swallow the panic and words gathering up my throat.
But I couldn't.
Having slept with my sister's fiancé was already too much.
Too much guilt. Too much shame for me to bear.
And now?
Now, this?
Iris was gone. Disappeared without a trace. And none of us knew why. I didn't really believe the content of her letter because I knew she had always loved Theodo
