Chapter 4 Her Baby

Although her voice was faint, he heard every word she said. Elliot turned around with a frown, but Corynn had already left.

He wasn’t sure why, but her parting words made him feel uneasy. Still, he agreed with her sentiment. She really shouldn’t have got herself involved with him to begin with.
