Epilogue

Maeve

It’s graduation day. Since I skipped all my finals, I won’t be graduating. In solidarity, Diem stayed home with me while Ramsay and Oliver attended the ceremony with Willow tagging along.

The secrets I keep are burning a hole in my chest, but I have no intention of sharing them until I know for sure.

Was Ollie involved in this mess? Although there have been no repercussions from him over my actions, I sense something dark boiling within him.

It’s up to me to find the truth and stop whatever is happening but I need time. Who planted the panties on my car…the rabbit's foot in the woods? Was Ollie attempting to throw us off the scent?

I don’t know, but I’m about to double down.

At least Penny has backed off or so I thought until she shows up later that evening, crashing the party Ramsay planned for Willow.

She’s dressed to impress, and I silently admire her style of ripped jeans and tank top as she stalks through the crowd with a determined expression. My heart sinks at the sight of her though and I lean my head against Diem’s chest as he follows my gaze.

“What’s she doing here?” I ask and Diem shrugs. “Don’t know, but seems she has a beef with your brother.”

I was hoping she would rest easy with my dad in jail, but it would seem her quest is not over. Now what do I do?
