Autumn’s heart couldn’t help but twinge every time she heard Edur’s name mentioned. She wanted nothing more than to reject the invitation, but the thought of Edur made her hesitate. Crumpling the envelope, she looked out the window and imagined the whispers she’d get if she went. Autumn was so tired of people talking about her. The last rumor had taken a toll on her, and she buried herself in her room for weeks before she left. That was enough to make her feel sure of her decision, and she shoved the invitation into her purse. It would be best if she didn’t go, even if it were for her last goodbye.
