Chapter 18

🖤 Author’s Note Wren’s mom immediately overhearing “partying, terrible decisions, and probably boys” honestly felt inevitable 😭Also… I love how different the atmosphere already feels whenever Thaddeus and Brielle are alone now. Before, everything between them was tense because of the rejection. Now it feels tense because neither of them knows what they’re supposed to do with each other anymore 👀And Thaddeus telling her to “be careful” instead of trying to stop her?Yeah… I don’t think he’s nearly as okay with Brielle leaving as he keeps pretending to be.The capital arc is officially coming next 👀🔥
