Violet had no idea what to expect when she got back to the shack. She paused at the entrance, bracing herself and mentally rehearsing the many ways she'd respond to that stubborn-headed Fae guardian once she stepped inside.
She wasn't going to give in this time. No. She was done accepting crumbs.
If Lila wanted their relationship back the way it was, then she needed to come clean and tell the whole truth. Otherwise, they'd keep on pretending. They would coexist as friends. Sure. Maybe. But not as close, not like before.
Lila could still do her whole protective guardian thing, but Violet wouldn't be spilling her secrets to her anymore. Not until she earned that trust again.
Then again, with how tight-knit their group was, it was practically impossible for Ivy and Daisy to know something without it reaching Lila eventually. Violet groaned out loud. Ugh. Fine. She'd just go in, keep her cool, and go with the flow. Whatever happens, happens.
