Ella POV
I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. Who was Laney? What did Zane mean by she’d have been a great Luna? Luna for who? For Adam?
I hoped I had misheard everything. I waited for Adam to answer, but he didn’t speak.
He turned slowly to face my direction, and when I saw his eyes, I knew whatever they had been talking about was the truth.
I got the answer, and before I knew it, I spun around and left the room. I moved as quickly as I could through the winding house.
My brain kept telling me to turn around and get a clear answer from Adam. He wasn’t one to keep the truth from me, but if that were true, wouldn’t he have told me he was engaged before me?
As much as I wanted to turn back and confront Adam, my feet led me out the front door and towards the woods. I made my way to the tree line and felt my pace quicken.
