-Grayson’s POV-

“If I had known you’d be so gloomy, I would have brought you chocolates and flowers.”

I didn’t bother looking away from the window. The sky outside was a dull shade of gray, thick clouds rolling over each other as if they, too, were restless. Maybe a storm was coming. Maybe it wasn’t. I didn’t really care.

Lately, I found myself saying less and less. It wasn’t that I had nothing to say it was that the only person I wanted to say anything to wasn’t here. Ava.

I wanted to tell her everything. How sorry I was. How much I missed her. How much I wanted-

I stopped. My jaw clenched as I forced the thought to fully form in my mind.

I wanted the baby.

I wanted the baby.

The realization hit me like a punch to the gut, and I exhaled sharply. The weight of it settled deep in my chest, heavier than anything I’d ever carried before.

And then–click.

I snapped my head toward the sound, my eyes narrowing at Carter, who stood by the doorway, his phone raised.

“Did you just take a picture of me?” I asked, my voice low, dangerous.

A slow grin spread across his face, “Yes. And I’m naming it Grayson Blackwood, Lost in Thought. A rare sighting, really. Never thought I’d see the day.”

My glare sharpened, “Get out.”

He waved a dismissive hand and strolled inside, completely ignoring my words as he sank onto the sofa. “Oh, please. Just only one who has come to visit you? You must have really pissed off everyone admit that you’re happy to see me. Am I the this time.”

I didn’t reply. Just turned back to the window.

“How are you feeling?” He asked after a beat.

I scoffed, “I’ve known you long enough to know you always have an agenda. So why don’t you stop wasting both our time and just tell me what

you

want?”

Carter pressed a hand to his chest, feigning offense. “I’m genuinely hurt, Grayson. I thought we were friends.”

I shot him a look.

He sighed. “Fine. Your problems have become my problems. Remember when you told me to stop looking for the sister?”

I went still. My fingers curled into the sheets at my sides, but I didn’t say anything.

Carter studied me, then smirked. “By the way you’re staring at me blankly, I’d say you already know who she is so I guess my

ahead investigation wsd in vain even though I found her. It’s

go

My jaw tightened.
