Chapter 9 

I sat there in silence for what felt like forever. 

In her drunken haze, Emma suddenly blurted out,” You know what? It’s not just your style 

that changed. I miss the old you.” 

er words hit me hard. 

“The old me?” I echoed, feeling a pang of confusion. 

She gave me a light shake. 

“Liz,seriously. Think about it. Is there anything you do anymore that’s just for you?” 

I opened my mouth, ready to argue, but no words came. 

After a moment, I tried to defend myself. 

“But haven’t I always been the one chasing after Leo? That’s just how it’s always been, 

right?” 

“Bullshit!” Emma laughed, her words slurring as she swore. 

“If I had known back then how things would turn out, I never would’ve encouraged you to 

chase after Leo!”
