CHAPTER 237
KATYA POV
I walked out of Romeo's office with my hands empty.
The door closed softly behind me, but the sound still felt too loud in my head. Final. Like something had been sealed shut and I'd been left on the wrong side of it.
I didn't stop walking. If I went back to my room, I knew exactly what would happen. I'd sit on the edge of the bed and stare at the walls until my thoughts turned vicious.
I'd replay every word Romeo had said. Every look. Every pause. I'd imagine Michael calling. Texting. dieing. I'd imagine blood where there was none yet. I'd imagine guilt until it crushed the air from my lungs.
And then I'd cry. Not the quiet kind. The ugly kind. The kind that came with the realization of just how small my life felt sometimes.
How easily things were taken from me. How little choice I really had. I couldn't do that. Not now.
