*Lorelei*
When I left Drogomor, I didn’t expect to feel changed. The affection I was shown by Noah’s aunts and Zara allowed me to find some peace, but I felt far from the woman I once was. I was grateful for the encouragement that the women gave me, and I truly thought I would be able to go back to the way things were before Gray.
I now knew that had been wildly presumptuous of me. It was clear that I wasn’t over him. It would take much more than the distance and time between us to remedy that.
Zara and Noah’s aunts were right. I needed to take the time to search within myself and give myself that time to truly understand what it was I wanted.
In this case, it was more about who I wanted.
I waved to some parents who were coming to pick up their kids, hoping my smile would come out genuine and not like the grimace my entire being wanted to give.
