Chapter Thirteen

Sofia

I sit on my bed and scribble on a piece of loose paper quickly. I'm writing a letter to Vivian. I haven't gotten to talk to her in days, with the trials going on and all, and I need to tell her about what just happened.

Flashes of a tanned, muscled back appear in my head, along with wet dark hair dripping down it.

I resume scribbling down my thoughts to Vivian and my mind replays the experience I just had.

After we ended the last trial, Hugo and I went to our rooms without talking much. So I let myself into his room a little while later to find his bathroom door creaked open. I heard the shower running and I couldn't help myself from taking a peak. The mirrors were fogged over from the heat, but the glass door to the shower was crystal clear. I looked away quickly, hurrying out of his room before he could see me; but it was too late, the image was scorched in my brain.

I read over the letter I just wrote.

I've seen something I shouldn't have, and now I can't unsee it. It has to do with Hugo of course. I don't know how I'm supposed to be married when I'm in love with him this much. I know he doesn't return my feelings, and now I feel stuck. I just wish we were all marrying because we love each other, it would make everything easier. There's nothing I can do now. I'll write more later.

I don't sign it because if Hugo were to see it, I would die. It wouldn't be the first time my letter was sent to the wrong person, so I make sure to make it anonymous enough to where it could have been any of the girls who wrote it; Vivian will know what I mean though. She always does.
