Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 65

Chapter 57

Was she just being paranoid, overthinking things again?

Right on cue, Timothy's phone buzzed. It was a call from Henry.

He answered immediately.

He pressed a kiss to her forehead. As he released her and started to go, Jessica grabbed his hand.

Timothy hugged her again, coaxing softly, "Be good. I just have to handle something. I'll be back soon."
