Chapter 220

Derick didn't give me a chance to say no, and I knew exactly what that meant.

Clutching the phone, I looked over at Brandon. After a brief pause, I walked over to him. Just as I was about to speak, Brandon said, "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow." "Leaving?" I was taken aback "Where to?"

Brandon kept walking forward. "Back home."

Brandon looked at me, his eyes seeming to say, "You might have time, but I don't."

I waited for him to refuse. But after staring at me for a few seconds, he simply said, "Okay."
