Chapter 23 Back to the Start

Ariana Sutton's POV After all that wandering, I still ended up in the small town that I used to stay in when I was five years old. This town was far from the hustle and bustle of the city—the skies here were clearer, and the air here was fresher. It felt like the place hadn't changed at all. I used to stay here with my mother. Her ashes had been buried in this town after she passed, in accordance with her final wishes. Both my mother and I were born in this town, and this town was also the start of my mother's disappointment.
