Chapter 5

That night. I spent hours in the bathroom, throwing up over and over.

Isolde wasn’t the only one who’d gotten drunk at that dinner.

I did too.

Caspian came home around noon. I was eating soup I’d ordered in.

Normally, he would’ve scolded me for ordering takeout. Said it was unhygienic.

I’d looked at him, silently begging him to defend me.

He never did.

When I confronted him afterward, he would say.

“I mean, they’re not wrong.”

“If you can’t even get along with my friends, what kind of wife does that make you?”

But he KNEW.

The way his friends treated me depended entirely on his own.

He had never imagined I would refuse him so bluntly-or suggest he bring someone else.

I used to beg for invitations like this.

But I wasn’t lying. I really was busy.
