Chapter 15: Theo

I had finished making all the necessary arrangements and was waiting in the kitchen for Ayla to get back home. I brought up some lunch since I knew she likely hadn’t had time to eat anything. I had packed a bag already, so I didn’t have to worry about it when she returned. I only had about an hour before I would need to get on the road, and I wanted to spend it with her.

“Is everyone okay?” she asked worriedly. “Do you want me to come
