Nova will be coming with me.” My heart broke already, missing the little girl, but of course if Raven was leaving, she would want to take her daughter with her. It made sense, and yet… at the same time, none of this made sense. “Why would you do this?” I asked, trying to stay calm, while panic was rising up within me. J
