150 Chapter 150

Seraphina’s POV 1

Every mile brought me closer to Adrian. Every mile made my heart beat faster until I thought it might explode out of my chest.

“You okay?” Caleb glanced over at me from the driver’s seat.

“Fine.” My hands were clenched so tight in my lap my knuckles had gone white.

“Sera.”

“I’m fine.”

He didn’t push. Just kept driving while I tried to remember how to breathe.

The baseball cap pulled low over my face felt suffocating. The sunglasses made everything look darker, more distant. But I needed them.

Needed the disguise. Needed to stay invisible.

“We’re about ten minutes away,” Caleb said quietly. “You sure about this?”

“Yes.”

“Because we can still turn around. Go straight to the auto supply store. No one would blame—”

“I need to see him.” My voice came out strangled. “Please, Caleb. I need to see my son.”

He nodded, his jaw tight. “Okay. But we do this my way. We park a block away. You stay hidden. And the second it feels dangerous—

“We leave. I know.”

The elementary school came into view. Red brick. Green playground. Cheerful painted murals on the walls.

My throat closed up completely.

“Park there,” I pointed to a spot across the street, partially hidden by a large oak tree. “I can see the front entrance from there.

Caleb pulled into the spot and killed the engine. For a moment, we just sat there in silence.

“What time does he get out?” he asked.

I checked my phone with shaking hands. “Three–fifteen. Five minutes.”

Five minutes until I saw my baby.

Five minutes of sitting here trying not to fall apart.

“Sera.” Caleb’s hand found mine. “Whatever happens, whatever you see… you can’t go to him. You understand that, right?”

“I know.”

“I mean it. Even if he’s crying. Even if he looks upset. You can’t go to him.”
