章節 39: Chapter 39: SUCH A COWARD

The uproar about my suggestion and refusal to go back to school continued, but the rebel in me had been born. They were drained with grief and had misplaced guilt about letting the boys take the trip in the first place. So, it was probably partly due to their need to keep me close that they agreed I could stay home, provided I kept my grades up. I wondered if they thought I'd fail and see the error of my ways by the end of summer, because the deal was, I had to prove I could pay for, and pass, my classes by then. Otherwise, I had to go back to school.

It didn't resolve any of the stuff with Flynn. I was mad as hell that he'd swept in and out of my life again. I sat watching late night TV, too angry to sleep. I reflected on how amazing Flynn had been when I needed him, and then he'd let me down by running again. I was beyond wild that he kissed me, and then left before giving me the opportunity to discuss it with him.
