RYN

After Adam left, I followed Sadie into the mansion and there in the luxury living room, I found Lydia pouring herself a glass of white wine. Sadie grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me towards the stairs and as we climbed, my phone buzzed.

"Security said you never came home, where are you?"

"At Sadie's." I answered, glancing at my friend. "Her parents invited me to dinner."

paused, feeling hope on the horizon of my heart. "How soon?"

"Any moment from tomorrow considering there are no hiccups along the way."

'No. Not at all." I blurted. "Carry on and... thanks for everything."
