Chapter 101

RYN

After Healer Kwan left, I sat on the bed, and stared at my bloody, dirty clothes, sitting in a pile on the floor, wondering how I was going to wear them again.

"You don't need to worry about that. I brought you a shirt?"

I raised my head and found Adam standing by the entrance, holding a crisp, white shirt by a hanger. "I have a spare shirt I always keep in the car in case of emergencies? This is an emergency...so.." His voice trailed off. I smiled at him, showing my gratitude. "Thank you." Afterwards, I showered and changed. Then the moment I entered his car, Sadie's call came in and I mentally groaned.

Closing my eyes, I picked her call.

"Hi Ging-

"Are you blowing my parents off?!"

I froze, experiencing Sadie's angry tone for the first time. "No. I'm not. I can explain."

"Fine. . I'm listening.

I thought about what to tell her. "I got injured during training so I had to go to the clinic to get treated."

"Oh my gods. I-I'm so sorry." Sadie's voice softened. "I should have known it was out of character for you to stand my parents up. You know how I feel about them and making first impressions."

"I understand."

"

"How are you now? I hope your injury is not too serious?"

fine. Please send my apologies to your parents."

"Sure, I will." Her voice trailed off. "Although, they'd be traveling first thing tomorrow morning and might take a while before you see them again. Can you still make it here?"

I thought a about her words for a moment. "Hold on." I said, putting her on hold. I turned to Adam who had just entered the driver's seat. "Could you please drive me to the Cresswell manor at Northridge Avenue?" Adam smiled at me. "Sure, Ryn. Anything for you."_

I stilled at his words, feeling heat rush to my face. Then I put the phone back to my ears. "Hey, I'm coming over."
