Chapter 178: What Did He Do?

Clara's POV:

"So, what did he do?"

Aurora's question catches me off guard because truth be told I barely know her and she's massively overstepping the line of civilised, polite conversation between two complete strangers. We've only met a few times and yet now that suddenly we've found out we're sisters she expects me to just open up to her about things that I haven't even told my best friends. It also grates that she presumes that Andrew has done something. He has of course but really, why would she presume it's him and not me? I could be the one to have messed this all up. I'm not, but still, I feel protective of him.

It sucks that we're paying for something he did back when we were sixteen. I'd thought we'd gotten past all our history. I had been trying anyway because the way he made me feel was worth it. Loving him was better than hating him. I don't think I could hate him even if I tried now and I know without a doubt I don't want to.

Hating him isn't an option.
