Chapter 386
It felt like a thunderstrike. Lindsay realized she had crossed a line with Brandon, and her mind went blank. She had no idea how to fix this. "Brandon," she finally said, her voice shaky. "Even if I have a foreign passport, I’m still Osceitonian, okay?

He turned and walked away. However, the calmer he was, the more nervous Lindsay got.
