I woke up early the next morning, fully intending to slip away to my appointment without Noah. I showered and dressed quickly, my hands shaking slightly as I grabbed my car keys. As I crept down the hallway, I listened for any sign of Noah, but the house was blissfully silent.

Every crunch of the gravel under the tires left me tense, wondering if he could hear me from inside the house. Freedom was so close I could taste it.
