Evelyn has certainly settled into the new normal again. It was not something ideal or something that she had imagined to happen in her life but it was just something that she had to deal with.
College was a new distraction for her to distract herself from her father's death and his constant absence.
She almost welcomed it in her life before realising that college would only go on for so long and after that she would have to figure out her life when the Alessandro family would give her the green light to leave.
What would she do then? Where would she go? The uncertainty killed her because she practically had no family now. Given that no one would care for her without the money that she was receiving or about the protection that she had now, Evelyn did not take much time to realise that she actually had nowhere to go.
