Chapter 22 Reese's Plan Chapter 22 Reese's Plan After wrapping things up , Caroline headed home , ready to finally rest a little . What she did not expect was that Reese actually had the nerve to come looking for her . About ten days after she had fallen out with Jonathan , Reese suddenly called Caroline from an unknown number . +5 Free Coins Of course , it was unknown - Caroline had long since blocked both Reese and Jonathan , those two shameless cheaters . On top of that , she had moved , so neither of them knew where she lived anymore . " Caroline , it's me , Reese . Please don't hang up , " Reese started out , her voice dripping with pitiful weakness . That tone - ugh . It made Caroline's skin crawl , and she could not stop cursing her past self . How could she have ever been fooled by this two - faced bitch ? " Talk . I'm busy ," Caroline said flatly . In truth , she was just brushing Raven's fur . After spending so much time together , Raven trusted her completely and loved being groomed by her . Every time she brushed him , he would flop onto his back , legs spread wide , eyes shut in bliss . When Caroline's phone rang , Raven twitched suspiciously , but she gently pushed it back into place before continuing . " I - I owe you an apology , Caroline , I really did think of you as a friend . I just ... I just couldn't help myself when it came to Jonathan . He was too good . I hope you can forgive me , " Reese said , her voice shaking with fake tears . Yet , Caroline was not buying it . She let out a cold laugh . " If you've got something real to say , say it . Otherwise , I'm hanging up . " Seriously ? Still putting on an act ? Did she think Caroline was an idiot ? " Alright , alright ! I really do have something serious . I know you hate me , but please don't hang up . I really am sorry , and I want to make it up to you , " Reese begged . Caroline almost gagged at her syrupy voice but forced herself to stay calm , burying her hand in Raven's soft fur for comfort . " Do you remember Henry Branson from the School of International Relations ? The guy who played basketball ? " Reese asked . Of course , Caroline remembered . In fact , after the world fell apart , she even crossed paths with Henry again . " I heard he's back in the country . I remember you used to like him a little , and he kind of liked you too . As a way to make it up to you , I can set you two up . What do you think ? " Reese's voice softened , dripping with false sincerity . " I know this might sound strange , but I really mean it . I just want to make amends ." Caroline could not help but laugh . Reese's brain really worked in bizarre ways . But then again , Henry was cut from the same cloth as Reese and Jonathan . Back in her past life , when Caroline had run into Henry on a mission , she had felt a little thrill at first . That thrill quickly turned to disgust when he betrayed her . Later , she learned that Henry and Reese were childhood friends - no surprise there . In fact , Reese had even had a fling with him once . 1/2 Chapter 22 Reese's Plan That time , Henry nearly got Caroline killed . Still , Caroline was curious about why Reese would suddenly bring Henry up now . +5 Free Coins " Sure , " Caroline said casually . " Honestly , I do remember Henry pretty well . After everything with Jonathan , I've been feeling down . Meeting an old acquaintance might cheer me up . " She and Reese quickly agreed on a time and place . Of course , Reese herself would not show . Caroline had no intention of ever seeing her again . Reese only needed to arrange things so she and Henry would cross paths . Caroline understood Reese's game . Reese had always looked down on her , thought of her as dumb and naïve . She deliberately came back now to stir things up , partly to polish her own reputation - if Caroline forgave her , her from going around telling everyone Reese was a homewrecker . And if Caroline did not agree , Reese could always try again later using other tricks . Either way , Reese had nothing to lose . Soon after , Caroline met Henry . Seeing that wolf in sheep's clothing again made her fists itch , but she held back . The dinner itself went smoothly . Henry was charming , the kind of guy who knew exactly how to win over a girl . A regular , inexperienced girl might have fallen for him in a single meal . Yet , Caroline knew better . The more handsome he looked , the darker his heart really was . it would keep In her past life , he had literally thrown her into a pit swarming with disgusting mutant centipedes and laughed at her when her face was scarred , calling her ugly .
