Summer Thorne was very well taken care of during her stay with the Carrington family.
It wasn't just Brandon Crawford who showered her with attention; even Eve practically doted on her. She would go out of her way to buy Summer's favorite fruits, cook her favorite dishes, and meticulously plan her entire day, from breakfast to a late-night snack.
Even back when Summer Thorne had thought of herself as a pampered heiress, life had never been this comfortable.
But she knew she couldn't go on living like this.
A life like this was never meant to be hers.
She was down and out, having suffered a setback, and she was unconsciously treating this comfort as a cocoon. If she became dependent on it, leaving would only be more agonizing later on.
She was so accustomed to a life of hardship that even in these good times, she had to constantly keep herself on alert.
Summer Thorne began forcing herself to stay busy.
