Chapter 84 NOT AFFECTED!

LIORA'S POV;

The moment I stepped onto the basketball court, I was met with the familiar buzz of excitement. The gym was packed—cheers echoed off the walls, sneakers squeaked on the polished floor, and the rhythmic bounce of the basketball reverberated through the air. It was all a bit much for my head, which was still pounding from a lingering headache, but I pushed through. Shawn had invited me to his long awaited basket ball competition. one of the reasons he came to stay with me at Ravenwood. He's been texting me non-stop to come, and I couldn’t let him down.

Shawn spotted me almost immediately. I didn’t have time to find a seat before he darted over, grinning from ear to ear, his confidence practically radiating off him.

“Liora!” he yelled over the noise, running up to me like an excited puppy. “You actually came!”

I smiled despite the dull ache behind my eyes. “Of course, I did. What kind of sister would I be if I missed your game?”
