CXLIV

SAMUEL DIDN'T WANT to believe that it was Amethyst who kidnapped Laia.

Sure saying that Amethyst had been unstable these days is an understatement but kidnapping Laia?

That would be.. unlike her.

Or maybe I'm just trying to convince myself that there was still something good left inside Amethyst, the boy thinks.

It had been an hour since Lily revealed to them that Amethyst called her earlier and asked for a favor. The favor was to bring Laia with her without any of her older brothers knowing since Amethyst wanted to have a conversation with Laia alone and without any disturbance.

"Sammy, are you angry at me?" Lily asks, tears racing across her cheeks as she continued to sob loudly. "I didn't know that Ame would do that, I promise!"
