Chapter 45: In Motion

Brie's POV

I rotated my foot in the stiletto heel. If Dr. Broner could see me now, he’d tell me how good it is that I’m finally stepping back into civilization. My mother, on the other hand, stared at me in glee as she took in my appearance.

“How does it feel? I can always return them. I did grab a pair of flats just in case,” my mother said.

This was her dream, me in this lilac gown with silver heels decorating my ankles, my hair pinned up and make-up done by a professional. This was the high school experience that she had looked forward to. Little did she know that after the pictures, our plan would commence, and I might actually get some answers about why and who attacked me. After tonight, I was reclaiming my life in a new light. With the truth out in the open, I could start fresh.

“Brie,” my mother said again, softer this time.
