“Everything else can go. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Drake’s expression became complicated, a flicker of guilt crossing his face. But he quickly spoke again.
“Don’t act like you’ve suffered some great injustice. The one who suffered is Aeris—she spent the last three years wandering alone.”
When I didn’t respond, his tone softened slightly.
“I bought you a new apartment. Whatever happened before, we’re even now.” He held out a key to me.
“There’s no need,” I said, making my way out.
“Drake, are you really kicking Lyra out?” Caden asked behind me.
“Caden, this is between me and her. Stay out of it,” Drake replied.
“Caden, don’t worry. I’ll make your brother happy,” Aeris said gently.
“Will you, really?” Caden shot her a disdainful look.
“You’ll regret this,” he said before following me out.
