Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

I need to stop thinking about Duke! I need to stop harboring hopes without any proof.
If there is any proof, that would be in support of how Duke never saw me as more than his friend… and maybe even a friend is a stretch.
Why would he lie to me about seeing other women if he thought of me as his friend? And if I was more than a friend to him, he would not go on those dates. Instead, he would find a reason to find me. He knew that other than school I had nothing else going on and if he said that he is coming, I would drop everything.
I wish that I can forget numerous pictures of Duke with other women. Were those fake? All of them?
