Chapter81

After countless sleepless nights, I surprisingly caught some solid z’s on the flight.

In my dreams, Antonio’s face kept showing up, like he was just waiting for me there.

Antonio had been the center of my world for as long as I could remember.

No matter how much I tried to stay cool and get over him, it felt like my insides were being torn apart.
