Chapter 96



Chloe chimed in, "For my birthday this year, I'm heading back to the Meadows' to celebrate with Lisa." Connor's face showed a flicker of disappointment. "Since when did you and your sister get so close?" Chloe grinned, "I didn't have much of a choice this time around. I made a promise to her."

She took Connor's hand reassuringly. "I'll try to come back early. You get a cake, and we'll have it together."

Chloe wasn't sure if Leading Heights had made the cut.
