Chapter 34 Patching Things Up

In the evening, Elyse stirred from her slumber, blinking in the dim light filtering through the window. Night had fallen, and a glance at her phone revealed it was well past nine.

Observing her distress, Jayden softened slightly. As Elyse looked up at him, her eyes shimmering
