CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN him again
⊱ ──────── {.⋅ ✯ ⋅.} ──────── ⊰
JULIET STOOD OUTSIDE of Jitters, her hands in the pocket of her jacket and her eyes sad as she watched Iris sit by herself inside. They still couldn't find Eddie, and everything was still rocky after her finding out their secret identities. It honestly wasn't fair. Everything was Wells' fault, and he still hadn't shown his face again.

"How, Jules?" Iris argued, but it sounded more broken than anything. "You and Barry have searched everywhere multiple times and haven't found anything." She went quiet for a moment, her eyes turning sad from her outburst. "I'm so sorry. I'm not mad at you, it's just—"
