Chapter 29. Entangled

ADELINE’S POV

After Dante’s explanation, I felt a little bit better. I’m still shaken up by the fact that he got shot because what if the bullet hit him in a more vital area? He could have died, and I don’t know exactly when it happened, but I can’t imagine my life without Dante in it anymore. I’m already in too deep with him in such a short period of time, and just the thought of losing him makes my chest constrict in a painful way.

Everything he told me today only proved to me more that he still has a lot of unresolved issues from his past. I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been for him and his sister to lose both their parents at such a young age. He probably didn’t even have time to mourn them because he was immediately hit with the responsibility of taking care of his sister, of making sure he provided for her in the absence of their parents. He had to grow up in the blink of an eye, and I can’t even say how sorry I am that he went through that.
