The day for Ophie's trip to Everly Falls was slowly approaching. She thought her father would come to his senses and at least allow her to pick another school, but she had only two days left, and he hadn't changed his mind a bit. He had made all the arrangements needed to keep her comfortable. Security was provided for her already, and they had surveyed the area, and testified to how calm it was.
Ophie was at Chase's house spending their last days together. Chase had promised to visit occasionally, as he had school to attend in town, and when he graduated, he'd move permanently to her location. Amidst their promises, they both feared what being apart held for them. Chase had the most fear, Ophie could go away and get all hooked up with a mystery guy. It'd all play out like Tessa going to college In AFTER.
