Chapter 58

*Isabel* I hugged my knees to my chest, pressing my face into the soft fabric of my pants, trying to hide the way my shoulders trembled. I couldn’t help it; this guilt, this embarrassment, the ache in my chest. It was all too much. She let out a soft sigh. "I can't imagine what a rollercoaster being here has been for you," She said softly. The empathy in her tone caused me to meet her eyes. Was it just me or did she actually seem... apologetic? "Dante has always been… this way,” She continued with a gentle tone, as though she was treading carefully around something delicate. There was a flicker of confusion in her gaze and I knew she had never seen this side of him before.
