Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 120

me and had a mole on his back? Well, Brandon had the exact same one.

And yesterday, he called me "Mae". I heard it loud and clear. There was no mistaking it.

As my thoughts wandered, Kara snapped me back to reality. "Maddie, why did you return to the room to sleep?"

It was abnormal for the perpetually sleepy Kara to wake up before her alarm. I knew exactly what she meant and rolled my eyes at her. "What do you mean come back to the room'?" Kara chuckled mischievously. "I thought maybe something happened between you and Mr. Howell-"

"What are you even thinking?" I cut her off. "Why is your mind always in the gutter?"

"But you can't just fall in love that easily, either. Where would that lead?" I countered.

Kara leaned closer while propping herself on a pillow. "Maddie, you know what? I really want to see Mr. Howell, the straight-laced guy, fall head over heels for someone." "Huh? I didn't quite catch her drift.
