I poured my energy into working and studying, determined to build a future for myself. Slowly, life fell into a rhythm. I grew closer to my dorm mates, even Jessica Rees, who had initially been so cold toward me. Now, we were getting along well, though sometimes I caught her staring at me in a way that felt... odd. Almost like she was seeing someone else in me. But hey, everyone had their secrets. As long as it didn't affect our friendship, I didn't care.
While working on campus, I ran into Dakota's rich ex-boyfriend from my previous life. I knew him—his father, Professor Hunt, taught in our department, and I'd even taken one of his classes. Word around campus was that he was starting a new research project, and I was drafting a cover letter to apply for it. I was eager to join the team.
But before I could even send the letter, my dad showed up at Yale—with the police.
