Summary
“Hey Nonagesimus, long time no see and you’re still lurking in the shadows. It’s good to know some things never change, queen of the night.”
“And you’re still hiding in the woods playing with sharp objects,” Harrow replied, “things really don’t change.”
“You know, I really did miss your banter. No one’s mean to me like you are.”
“I…” Harrow was so over this interaction and how it was opening a pit in her stomach. Being mean hadn’t even been her intention, it just always seemed to happen.
She took a few steps back, feeling small, “I’m going back inside now, join us if you want or stay out here playing with your wood for all I care.”
Returning to her hometown was something that Harrow had never planned to do for many reasons, one of which just happened to be a certain obnoxious redhead who she'd always had a contentious relationship with. But when she inherits her family home after her aunt's death it's her best option to get out of a bad roommate situation.
It's hard to completely avoid someone in a small town, and Harrow quickly finds that maybe that isn't a bad thing. That maybe the place (and person) she'd spent so long running from could actually be what she needed all along.
