Status Updates From La Ballade funèbre de Hart ...

They were the ones who asked her to keep the secrets! And they're the ones who are acting like she was just keeping them for the fun of it!

And they're just now forgiving her after a near death experience!

I understand her entire family is under stress but what the heck!

Love how this copies the fountain scene from Beauty and the Beast.

"Here's where she meets Prince Charming, but she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three." ~ 🎶

A reenactment of what was supposed to be Mercy and Hart's first date.

Mercy: What are you going to be for Halloween?

Hart: Well, I was hoping I could be your pen pal/boyfriend.

Mercy: Aww. Well, then I hope I can be dead.

Inspired by Danny Gonzalez, and Mercy not getting the freaking hints!

I want Curtis Cunningham to catch these hands.

I finally figured out what I'm going to do for tomorrow's treat!

I've decided I'm going to make white cupcakes colored teal, with a red velvet swirl (may or may not be colored black), topped with white icing, sweetened coconut shavings, and pink sprinkles!

Coconut Bleeding Heart Cupcakes! Perfect for an enemies-to-lovers story!

Now let's hope I can actually pull it off lol. 🧁❣

I know no one's the villain in this, but....

Drag them, Mercy!

Everything's going to come to head on Founder's Day isn't it?

It all makes so much sense now!

He passed that bitterness to Hart! And I'm really hoping that Hart doesn't pass that bitterness to Pen!

So he started hating Undertakers because his mentor hated Undertakers.

And in turn that made him hate Mercy.

What is with this family and having things for Marshalls?

I officially hate two people in this book now.

Listening to music per-usual while reading, and I can't help but think how well "Cold Weather" by Zac Brown Band fits the theme of this book an unnatural amount.

He really does care about Duckers and I love that for him and for Duckers.

I also love that Hart, reassures Duckers and let's him know that it's okay to cry after what's done.

Ducker, Honey, no, just no.

In enemies-to-lovers trope the enemies part is so flimsy it’s ridiculous. Let’s see if the lovers part is executed better 💅

Alright, so Mercy has a matchmaking owl, and Hart has a take no BS Hare who I feel wants him to drop dead.

Seems about right.

So many people who love, but unfortunately, sometimes love isn't the same as understanding.
