158 Always in my Heart

A thief and a whore? William's words rang in Lina's ear all night long. It was impossible for her to sleep, all she could think of was him and the sadness that showed in his dark brown eyes. Lina started to feel like perhaps she was making a mistake in pushing William away, but there was no point going back now.

Things had gotten messy and it was time to move on. She did however feel like he may have had a point about her family. He had worded it rather crudely but Lina had to admit that the atmosphere in this home wasn't exactly supportive. She felt guilty when she thought about Yanlin, and she remembered her promise to her mother that she'd always be there for him.

Lina slept in late the next morning, exhausted from staying up late and crying herself to sleep. Although if anyone asked she would respond, "I'm fine," and get on with it.
