[Bonus chapter] Shadows and Resentments

While everyone else was overjoyed to hear the news, Morgan's reaction stood in stark contrast to the rest. His words had a hint of cynicism and were a subtle insult at Melody's sudden savior, who she thought of as her knight in shining armor. His response was not as happy as the others', but his feelings were hidden by a thin layer of indifference. 

Melody's heart sank when she heard that Morgan was being cynical. The difference between his dull answer and how happy everyone else was was striking. She couldn't help but feel disappointed when she realized that her hopes of making up with him were not even close to coming true.

She decided, though, to stay strong and not let his negative comments bring her down. She knew deep down that she deserved someone who believed in her and cheered her triumphs, not someone whose anger made them seem less important.
