No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 783

Allen was quick to like my post, even leaving a comment: "Chaos has its own beauty."

But there was no sign of Dustin. I wondered if he hadn't seen it or if he was just playing blind.

Under Allen's comment, I decided to play along: "That's what the Mad Hatter always says."

Allen replied, "Don't worry about the Mad Hatter. Your big bro's got this covered."

I teased back, "I'm afraid you'll just make things messier."

Allen: "Don't trust your big bro?"

Me: "Not really."

Allen: "Ouch, hurt my feelings first thing in the morning."

Me: "Have some chicken soup for the soul."

Allen: "I need inner healing."
