Selena’s POV
The dining hall was filled but nobody was eating. The food looked good, but to me, it tasted just like cold ash.
I just couldn't help but think about the inevitable journey Theo’s going to have.
Everyone was talking and it was just a normal dinner except for Melissa.
Usually, she's the brightest person in the castle.
She always has a smile and a cheerful attitude but tonight, she looked down. Her shoulders were slouched and her head was lowered so low that her blonde hair hid her face.
I watched her closely. When she walked forward to pour more water into Julian’s glass, her hands were shaking. The pitcher was rattling against the rim of the glass. I looked closer and saw that her blue eyes were totally red and swollen. She had been crying for hours.
"Melissa" I said so
