Dilemma

(SOFIA'S POV)

After storming out of the room in anger, I grabbed my car keys from the coffee table downstairs and drove out, my destination clear in mind-my parents' place.

I needed someone to talk to, and my mother was that someone. The argument with Jared had shaken me to my core. The emotion in his eyes looked like hatred, and I couldn't bear it.

"He went to the hospital for his doctor's appointment."

Relief washed over me. I didn't want my father to be present for this conversation.
