Chasing His Kickass Luna Back by Jane Above Story

Chapter 93

#Chapter 93: A New Angle

Abby

I push open the door to the restaurant, the soft chime signaling my unexpected entrance. I feel the

weight of curious gazes on me—Daisy, Ethan, a few waiters. They’re all surprised to see me back so

early.

“Abby, what are you doing here?” Ethan asks, a mix of confusion and concern etching his face. “We

thought you weren’t supposed to be back from your vacation until tomorrow.”

“I just… wasn’t really feeling it,” I say, forcing a smile that probably looks more like a grimace. “I

decided to come back a little early.”

Ethan nods. Maybe he’s satisfied with my response, or maybe he just figures that it’s not his business.

But then my eyes lock with Chloe’s. The slight tilt of her head, the thin press of her lips—it all screams,

‘We need to talk.’

“As happy as I am to see you home early,” Chloe says, lowering her voice, “I think we should talk.

Now.”

As soon as we’re enclosed in the privacy of my dimly lit office, Chloe locks the door and turns to me

with an expression that’s a cross between a detective and a protective sister.

“Okay, start talking,” she says, folding her arms across her chest. “What happened?”

I let out an almost inaudible sigh, feeling the burden of the past few days settle on my shoulders. But

I’ve resolved not to tell her—or anyone, for that matter. It’s too embarrassing. “Nothing happened. I just

decided to come home early.”

Her eyebrows lift. “Oh yeah? Just got lonely on your ‘solo vacation’, hm?”

I give her a half-smile. “Yup.”

“Alright.” Chloe sits down, leaning her elbows on the desk. There’s an air of annoyance about her. “Tell

me the truth, Abby. All of it.”
