Chapter 27 Summary: “Lake of Summer”

In the stained-glass coffin, Miel floats through memories of her past. She remembers how, at the suggestion of their priests, her mother held her under water to try and drive out the curse of her roses. She fought to survive and escaped down the river. As Miel tries to escape the glass coffin, she remembers the first time she saw Sam and mistakenly thought he was Leandro, who died trying to save Miel from drowning.

Chapter 28 Summary: “Unknown Sea”

Sam and Aracely prepare for the lovesickness cure, and Aracely mentions that Miel is at school. Sam realizes Ivy lied and thinks they’re cutting class together. Sam thinks about how he pushed down his feelings to keep his friendship with Miel secure, and now he feels he has ruined things by acting on his feelings. Aracely begins her cure, selecting ingredients and using her hands to massage the lovesickness away. Sam remembers when he and Miel were young, and he put gold star stickers on her skin. Later that day, he pulled them off to reveal tan lines in the shapes of constellations.
