Chapter 0526 ADRIANA "Hey Valerie," he says, kissing her forehead and giving her a small smile.

"I could be your big brother and give you a smack over your head the way normal brothers would. That shit ain't the standard. Zade's mocking voice comes clearly, seeing right through me.

"That's a lot of flowers," I state.
"Well then, I hope she likes flowers." "She did," I say, falling in step beside him. "Wantto carry some?" "I'm alright. Thanks." We fall silent and I pluck a flower from the loose ones and play with it as we walk side by side. He doesn't speak and I appreciate the silence.

The silence is comforting, but the onslaught of pain hitsagain. The reminder that she's gone, once again hitshard.

I miss you, Ad... I miss you.
The moment my eyes blur with tears, Atticus's arm wraps around me.
