"Mika."
Before Lucas could even finish his sentence, Seraphina bolted up from the sofa, completely cutting him off.
Her hands were balled into tight fists as she marched straight up to Mika, her eyes swimming with innocence and profound remorse.
"I'm so sorry. I know it was presumptuous of me to run over here today, but I noticed you moved out of the dorms, and I thought this might be the only place I could find you."
"About what happened at school, I admit I lacked boundaries. But those chat logs Jude posted were totally forged.
My biggest regret is accepting his necklace. I only took it because I absolutely loved the design. And when I got drunk and twisted my ankle, I shouldn't have let Jude carry me back."
At this point, Seraphina's innocent doe eyes welled up with tears. Her eyes were red, her voice breaking into a choked sob.
"But in my heart, you truly are my absolute best friend. I don't know why things spiraled out of control like this...
But I promise, from now on, I will strictly watch my boundaries. I will never do anything to upset you again. Can you please forgive me?"
"I am so sorry."
In the quiet room, Seraphina's stifled sobs sounded exceptionally loud.
As she apologized, she even dropped her head toward Mika, two crystal-clear tears hitting the floorboards.
Lucas remained silent, his gaze fixed quietly on Mika, a flicker of hesitation crossing his eyes.
Mika stared at the top of Seraphina's head, stayed silent for two seconds, and then turned to look at Lucas.
"Can someone tell me what exactly is going on here?"
Lucas looked slightly taken aback. "I didn't mean to..."
"Mika!" Seraphina lifted her head, cutting off Lucas's explanation once again. Teary-eyed, she grabbed Mika's wrist.
"Please don't blame Lucas. I came here on my own because I knew you'd be here. I just wanted to make peace with you. This has nothing to do with anyone else.
