Summary
Dropping out of Yale was the easy part. After one full year, Clarke decided the Ivy life just wasn’t for her. She missed her home and her friends. She missed her freedom. As long as she was at Yale, pursuing a pre-med degree, she wasn’t living her own life. She was living the life that her mother wanted for her.
That was the hard part: Telling her mother that she would not be going back to Connecticut when the summer ended.
She found a waitressing job with Raven’s help. Jasper and Monty told her she could crash on their couch until she found something more sustainable. And she started her life. It wasn’t perfect and it wouldn’t be easy, but she was happy. She was surrounded by the people she loved and needed and she’d go back to school when she wanted to. That was, if she wanted to go back at all.
And that was the beauty of it all. It was all on her own terms. The choice was hers. Her life, at last, was hers. And it was everything she ever wanted.
Until she met Bellamy Blake.
