"I cannot believe he came back and didn't call me," Briony muttered to herself as she stomped her feet on the sidewalk made of cobblestone. Behind her, Bianca and Anouk looked at each other as they heard Briony muttering to herself.
"Well, he was banished and Dad forbade him to contact you or get near you. What would you expect?" Bianca said oblivious of the conversation that Briony and Aldrich had two years ago before he was banished.
Briony suddenly stopped and turned her body to face her sister. "That is the thing! He was banished and Dad forbade him to contact me. So what is he doing here? Why does Dad still have contact with him?" Briony asked although she knew that she wouldn't get the answer from her oblivious sister.
No one knows that Aldrich promised that he would keep in touch with her but it has been two years and ever since he was banished, he never reached out to her once. Not even through an encrypted letter. He could have at least tried!
