No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 118

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Dustin finally asked, "Where are you?"

I had moved to this new place, and only Fanny and Ernest knew about it. But I wouldn't put it past Dustin to figure it out.

He cared enough to remember even my unlisted number, so it wasn't a stretch to think he could guess where I was.

Still, I wasn't about to give up my location. "Dustin, I've poured my heart into this amusement park for the last two years. I'll leave the loose ends for you to tie up."

"Felicia..."

"Dustin, let's leave it at that."
