Kassandra's POV
As we perused the produce aisle, my mind drifted further, contemplating the "what ifs" of our lives. What if Clayden hadn't entered my life? What if I hadn't been abducted and forced into a world of chaos and danger? Would I still be here, standing alongside Montgomery, shopping for groceries and preparing for an unsure future together? If I haven't discovered my past, maybe I am with Clayden today doing groceries.
A wave of conflicting emotions washed over me, causing a subtle furrow in my brow as I reached for a vibrant red apple. Part of me longed for the simplicity of a life untouched by the darkness that had consumed me. I yearned for the familiarity
of my previous existence, the comfort of mundane routines, and the absence of constant danger lurking around every corner.
"Do you want to take that apple?" I get back to my senses the moment I heard Montgomery speak beside me.
